UNSPSC 50353306: Frozen organic rio red grapefruit

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

UNSPSC 50353306 Frozen organic rio red grapefruit is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized frozen citrus products sourced for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent state and local procurement activity shows little solicitation specifically for frozen rio red grapefruit as a line-item category; instead, the code appears in broader frozen-produce and grocery-items bundles spanning school meal programs across multiple states. School districts and boards of education are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code tier, with representative work drawn from child nutrition services RFPs and IFBs that bundle frozen and fresh produce alongside staple food items. These solicitations require USDA compliance and Buy American provisions mandating minimum domestic content thresholds, HACCP food safety plans, nutritional standards aligned with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and firm fixed pricing with transportation and packing included.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with recent solicitations issued by the Hancock County Board of Education (IFB due June 26, 2026 for fresh produce spanning the 2026–27 school year), Early County Board of Education (line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026), the Decatur City Schools (IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (fresh produce bid due April 23, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (grocery items due April 29, 2026 with over 900 line items), and the Douglas County School System (RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026, serving 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million). The Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut also solicited grocery items including frozen products (due June 30, 2026) supporting the National School Lunch Program. School nutrition contracting emphasizes multi-item bundles rather than single-commodity procurement, making standalone frozen grapefruit orders uncommon in current state and local activity.
