UNSPSC 50343308: Frozen star ruby grapefruit

The variety of grapefruit known as star ruby grapefruit that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50343308 Frozen star ruby grapefruit is a Commodity code covering a narrow product category that state and local governments procure almost exclusively through food service supply contracts supporting institutional meals. State and local solicitations under this code actually address frozen citrus and specialty fruit items bundled with broader grocery, produce, and food service procurement rather than the specific frozen star ruby grapefruit variety in isolation. The issuing bodies running these procurements span state health and human services departments operating institutional facilities, county and municipal school districts, county correctional systems, and Head Start child care programs. Recent opportunities show steady activity from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (soliciting for state hospitals and state supported living centers), Georgia school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, Fulton County Schools, Douglas County School System, and City Schools of Decatur), the County of Santa Clara California (correctional food services), and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida (USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program).

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, which accounts for the plurality of school district solicitations, with secondary activity in Texas (state institutional facilities), California (county correction), and Florida (federal fresh produce programs). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026) spanning approximately 110 line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, beverages, and food service packaging with a historical spend baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program (bids due June 30, 2026) covering 1,100+ line items across breakfast, frozen products, produce, dairy, meats, and beverages with Buy American compliance; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce (bids due June 26, 2026) specifying 200+ line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and citrus fruits; and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP (bids due June 24, 2026) for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements with an estimated procurement value of $969,460.94. Activity posted within the last two months (June–July 2026) remains robust, indicating stable demand for institutional food procurement cycles aligned with school year and fiscal-year transitions.
