UNSPSC 50383700: Grapefruit purees

The type of large citrus fruit with a bitter yellow rind and inner skin and a highly flavored somewhat acid juicy pulp produced by a small roundheaded tree (citrus paradisi) which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383700 Grapefruit purees is a Class code that sits at an abstract taxonomy tier, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal relevance to grapefruit-specific procurement. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad food-service purchasing across school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies buying canned fruits, applesauce, dried fruit products, fresh produce, and general grocery items for institutional meal programs. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), municipal nutrition departments (City of Bridgeport), and regional purchasing cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). The procurement notices reveal that state and local governments use this code family to aggregate diverse fruit and food commodities rather than single-item sourcing—vendors compete on bulk case quantities, firm fixed pricing, delivery logistics, insurance compliance, and adherence to USDA standards and Buy American provisions across multi-year contracts with renewal options.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Florida through multiple school districts and state agencies), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and the Mid-Atlantic (Connecticut, Virginia), with scattered Midwest activity (Missouri, Illinois).

Contracts typically demand firm fixed pricing for full contract periods, FOB destination delivery with freight prepaid, liability insurance from $1 million to $2 million, USDA/FDA compliance certification, and Buy American Act adherence with domestic-content thresholds at 51 percent for processed items.
