UNSPSC 50393303: Organic foster grapefruit purees

The variety of organic grapefruit known as organic foster grapefruit which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50393303 Organic foster grapefruit purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a narrow fruit-processing category—organic grapefruit purees—but the fourteen recent state and local solicitations tagged under or near this code overwhelmingly target broader food-supply contracts for K-12 school nutrition programs, institutional facilities, and correctional systems. These opportunities span fresh and frozen produce, canned fruits (including applesauce and pears rather than grapefruit purees), proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, and miscellaneous grocery items. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent coding discipline at the posting agencies or that grapefruit purees fall within a larger commodity-aggregation practice that the code structure does not capture. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Austin ISD, Douglas County School System) and state corrections or health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office). One city nutrition center procurement appears (Bridgeport, Connecticut).

Geographic concentration runs heavy in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (Liberty County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), and secondary activity in Oregon, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections solicitation S2910000017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce under ITB (due July 31, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. PST) with a 10% combined Oregon-goods and resident-vendor preference and a historical price of $21.84 per case; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026) with minimum three-year supplier experience required; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two) for the 2026–2027 school year (due March 4, 2026). School districts uniformly require Buy American Act compliance (51% domestic content for processed products where applicable), firm fixed pricing, HACCP and food-safety certifications, commercial general liability insurance ($1 million minimum), and weekly or scheduled deliveries to multiple sites. Organic certification and grapefruit-specific sourcing do not appear in any of the posted opportunities; activity tilts toward cost-driven commodity procurement rather than specialty or branded-fruit purees.
