They can range from almost seedless to very seedy, from juicy to dry, from sweet to sour.

UNSPSC 50386500 Pomelo purees, a Class code, does not appear in any of the recent state and local procurement activity provided. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-supply contracts—none of which are pomelo purees or closely related citrus puree products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that pomelo purees see minimal recent procurement activity among state and local agencies.

State and local purchasing offices have tagged food-supply opportunities under this code that span school districts, state corrections and health agencies, and local school nutrition programs across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. The opportunities posted between January and July 2026 include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (historical maximum value $4.5 million over three years), and multiple school district RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, eggs, and general food supply (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12, Rockwood School District grocery items, Douglas County School System food supply). These solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, USDA commodity standards, delivery schedules measured in days to weekly cycles, and liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range. The coded opportunities do not support active pursuit under UNSPSC 50386500 for pomelo purees specifically.
