UNSPSC 50353304: Frozen organic marsh grapefruit

The variety of organic grapefruit known as organic marsh grapefruit that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50353304 Frozen organic marsh grapefruit (Commodity) does not reflect the actual buying activity under this code in recent state and local procurement. School districts, municipal food service departments, and education-affiliated agencies soliciting under this code are acquiring broad grocery and food-service portfolios spanning fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, proteins, grains, and prepared foods to support child nutrition programs and institutional meal services, not organic citrus products specifically. The recent opportunities show state and local governments buying comprehensive food-supply contracts through IFB, RFP, and line-item bidding processes, typically encompassing hundreds of product categories with strict Buy American, HACCP, and nutrition-standards compliance requirements.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education across multiple states, with secondary participation from municipal procurement offices and state agencies. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) represent recent active buyers. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and the Southeast, with additional activity in Connecticut and Missouri. Representative opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery-items procurement (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, spanning 1,100+ line items with July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract term), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce solicitation (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, covering 200+ produce items), and the Douglas County School System's fresh-produce and eggs RFP for a 30-district cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One). Vendors must carry $500,000 to $2,000,000 liability insurance, meet E-Verify and debarment requirements, provide HACCP and food-recall procedures, comply with whole-grain and low-sodium nutrition standards, and commit to firm pricing or market-indexed escalation with 3–10% caps depending on jurisdiction.
