UNSPSC 50303407: Baresana grapes

The variety of table grapes known as baresana grapes

UNSPSC 50303407 Baresana grapes, a Commodity code, represents fresh fruit varieties procured by state and local jurisdictions for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts, county boards of education, and municipal agencies purchasing fresh produce—including baresana and similar grape varieties—as components of broader fresh fruit and vegetable procurement contracts supporting National School Lunch Programs, Child and Adult Care Food Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. The code encompasses both single-item sourcing and multi-line produce contracts where baresana grapes appear alongside apples, berries, citrus, and root vegetables in itemized bid specifications.

School districts dominate recent procurement activity under this code tier, with major issuers including Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Madison Metropolitan School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Henry County Schools (Georgia), and multiple Georgia county boards of education (Glynn County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Bulloch County, and Muscogee County). City and county departments also solicit under the code: the City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies on July 16, 2026 with response due August 4, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items on June 30, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara sought dried fruits and nuts on January 28, 2026. Head Start of Greater Dallas and DeSoto County School District round out recent issuers. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, Oregon, and California. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026) requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 for fresh produce spanning 72 line items with annual quantities up to 21,125 cases (due April 23, 2026).
