UNSPSC 50356001: Frozen organic chandler pomelo

The variety of organic pomelos known as organic chandler pomelo that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50356001 Frozen organic chandler pomelo (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent solicitations posted under this Commodity code target broad school nutrition procurement—frozen foods, grocery items, fresh produce, eggs, and complete food service distribution—with no discernible focus on pomelo or specialty citrus items. The Georgia State Department of Education, multiple county and city school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri are all issuing solicitations for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supply contracts that span hundreds of line items each. These jurisdictions uniformly require domestic sourcing compliance (minimum 51 percent Buy American content), HACCP plans, food safety certifications, nutrition standards adherence (whole grain, low sodium, no added sugars or artificial additives), firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday, and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms. Vendors must carry $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability insurance and comply with state E-Verify and federal debarment requirements. The scope reflects institutional food service procurement at scale—not specialty produce.

The recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary representation from Connecticut. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) posted two major RFPs in early 2026: RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026, estimated $9 million annual spend) and RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for Fresh Produce and Eggs covering 30 districts (due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million combined for two geographic areas). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items (due June 30, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce with over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items via NUTRIKIDS electronic bidding for over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026). Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line food and non-food bids for approximately 300 food items and 60 supply items (due June 8, 2026). The code shows no recent relevant activity for frozen organic pomelo specifically; the code assignment appears misaligned with actual procurement intent.
