NIGP 01947: Grapes

NIGP 01947 Grapes, an Item code, covers fresh grape procurement for state and local institutional foodservice operations. State and local governments buy grapes under this code primarily to supply school nutrition programs and other public institutional cafeterias; the work involves supplying fresh produce to multiple delivery locations on a seasonal or annual contract basis, with pricing typically locked for the contract term subject to limited adjustment for USDA or CPI market indices. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts managing nutrition programs for multiple school sites within a district. The Butts County School System, a Georgia-based school district, represents the active buyer base under this code.

The code shows recent activity in Georgia. Butts County School System issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) on April 27, 2026 for food products to support its School Nutrition Program during School Year 2026–2027, with bid submission due May 26, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. to six school locations including elementary schools, a middle school, a high school, and the Board of Education office; the contract period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with options for renewal up to four additional one-year terms. Bidders must include all packing and transportation costs on a freight-on-board basis with no separate fuel charges, comply with Buy American provisions, meet HACCP requirements, and submit pricing that remains firm for 30 days from award and fixed thereafter except for price adjustments based on USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports or Consumer Price Index data submitted 30 days in advance.
