UNSPSC 50303406: Autumn seedless grapes

The variety of table grapes known as autumn seedless grapes

UNSPSC 50303406 Autumn seedless grapes is a Commodity code tracking state and local procurement of fresh produce, specifically grapes and seasonal fruit items, for institutional food service and child nutrition programs. State and local buyers use this code to procure fresh fruits—including grapes, bananas, apples, berries, melons, and citrus—for delivery to correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services, and other government-operated food programs. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county school boards, city school districts, municipal senior services divisions, and regional health coalitions. State correctional and mental health agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health) appear as repeat buyers sourcing fresh produce for inmate and patient meals. School districts and child nutrition programs dominate recent procurement activity, with individual school boards and cooperative purchasing groups seeking produce to support National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal service.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity across Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and California. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted three separate fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations between September and October 2026 (IW267411, IW267420, and IW267376), each with response deadlines of October 14 or later. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 servings weekly, local-sourcing requirement within 400 miles, due July 29, 2026). School districts in Georgia—including Hancock County, Bartow County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, and Early County—posted fresh produce bids between May and June 2026 for 2026–2027 school-year supply, with most responses due late June. Notable institutional buyers include the Illinois Department of Mental Health (Madden Mental Health Center, FY27 contract due August 14, 2026), the City of Edinburg (Texas) for CACFP meal service (RFP 2026-017, approximately 400 children daily, due August 4, 2026), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) for food concession services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN, March 6, 2025 deadline with local-vendor preference). Buy American requirements under 7 CFR 210.21(d) and CACFP compliance are standard across school-district solicitations; prevailing wage certifications apply in Illinois; and many districts specify local-sourcing preferences (Wisconsin 400-mile requirement, Georgia and Florida local-vendor preference points).
