UNSPSC 50303407: Baresana grapes

The variety of table grapes known as baresana grapes

UNSPSC 50303407 Baresana grapes is a Commodity code that spans fresh fruit and vegetable procurement for institutional foodservice — primarily correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services, and child care programs. State and local governments are acquiring baresana grapes and related fresh produce through foodservice supply contracts that bundle single-item or multi-item produce procurement with delivery, quality, and compliance obligations. The issuing bodies are principally school nutrition programs (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education), state correctional and mental health departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and municipal agencies (Collier County Parks and Recreation, City of San Antonio Senior Services, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and nonprofit child care operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). State correctional agencies and school districts dominate recent activity, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing at least three fresh-produce solicitations since late September 2026, and school districts across Georgia accounting for roughly half of the recent bid opportunities.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and Wisconsin, with scattered activity in Florida and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable supply RFP to its Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (IW267420 and IW267411, bids due October 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' bi-weekly fresh produce contract to Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, quotes due September 3, 2026, with a small business set-aside), Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas procurement (RFB 4162, bids due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's multi-line grocery items bid spanning over 1,100 produce and food items under National School Lunch Program rules (BNB052266, bids due June 30, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026). Buy American and domestic-sourcing requirements appear in roughly two-thirds of school district and state agency solicitations; several solicitations impose local-vendor or regional-sourcing preferences (Madison Metropolitan's 400-mile Wisconsin-only requirement for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, Bartow County's 400-mile local-farm requirement, San Antonio's produce-market operation model). Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with renewable extension options, pricing is firm or escalation-controlled via USDA indices, and delivery frequencies range from bi-weekly to daily with 97–98 percent service-level requirements.
