UNSPSC 50563103: Non GMO foster grapefruit purees

The variety of non GMO grapefruit known as non GMO foster grapefruit which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50563103 Non GMO foster grapefruit purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes preserved grapefruit products, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with that scope. The solicitations actually capture institutional food procurement across broad categories—canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and general food commodities for school nutrition, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and county senior services. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and special-purpose districts. The work itself involves purchasing shelf-stable foods, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, frozen items, and related consumables for institutional meal service and food assistance programs, with vendors expected to meet USDA standards, maintain appropriate insurance, comply with Buy American or domestic-content requirements where mandated, and deliver on fixed or recurring schedules to centralized distribution points or facility sites.

Recent opportunities span the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (June 2, 2026 and July 31, 2026 response dates), with historical awards at $21.83–$21.84 per case and a 5% preference for Oregon-processed goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable foods due October 19, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited over 200 fresh-produce line items for school year 2026–27 (bid opening June 29, 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two major IFBs: one for food and consumables at state supported living centers with a prior-period value of $1.5 million (July 13, 2026 deadline) and a broader supplemental food procurement spanning 210 line items with a maximum three-year value of $4.5 million (March 19, 2026 deadline). Austin Independent School District sought proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (July 16, 2026 deadline). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (August 24, 2026 deadline). Bridgeport, Connecticut and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have also actively solicited food commodities. The code shows little recent activity tagged specifically to non-GMO grapefruit purees; vendors pursuing food-service contracts under this code should expect institutional meal service scope, compliance with federal nutrition standards, and delivery to centralized or multi-site locations.
