UNSPSC 50353307: Frozen organic ruby red grapefruit

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

UNSPSC 50353307 Frozen organic ruby red grapefruit, Commodity, represents a narrow product line within school nutrition procurement, though recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show minimal direct alignment with the nominal scope. School districts and municipal purchasing offices buying frozen fruit for child nutrition programs do solicit frozen grapefruit as part of broader frozen produce categories, but the recent opportunities block captures activity in wider grocery and fresh produce categories—frozen foods, fresh produce staples, and comprehensive food service supply—rather than a grapefruit-specific procurement. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and one state agency (State of Georgia), all focused on supporting National School Lunch Program and school breakfast operations. Vendors supplying under this code face stringent compliance requirements including Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, whole-grain and low-sodium nutrition standards, and liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Missouri. The most recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases grocery item procurement (electronic bids due June 30, 2026, IFB), Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce for 2026-27 (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, IFB), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative (proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million combined spend). Early County Board of Education solicited food and non-food products with bids due June 8, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District sought grocery items with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026; City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery with sealed bids due May 15, 2026; and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited fresh produce with bids due April 23, 2026. All contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with firm pricing throughout and no separate fuel surcharges permitted.
