UNSPSC 50303409: Beauty seedless grapes

The variety of table grapes known as beauty seedless grapes

UNSPSC 50303409 Beauty seedless grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy fresh produce—primarily for institutional food service in schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior programs, and child care facilities—under this code and related fresh-produce families. Recent solicitations show procurement of fresh fruits and vegetables as line items within broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone grape-specific awards. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh-produce RFQs for delivery to food warehouses serving correctional facilities. School districts across Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Wisconsin solicit fresh produce including apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and tomatoes as part of National School Lunch Program and breakfast-program supply chains. Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health facilities seek weekly or bi-weekly fresh-produce deliveries. City and county agencies—including Bridgeport Board of Education, Madison Metropolitan School District, Head Start of Greater Dallas, and San Antonio Parks & Recreation—source fresh fruits and vegetables for child nutrition programs, senior services, and food-service operations. Issuing bodies range from state departments and school districts to county boards of education, municipal parks departments, and special-purpose health and senior-services agencies, with school nutrition programs representing the most frequent recent buyers.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin, with secondary solicitations in Connecticut, Mississippi, and Colorado. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetable delivery to its Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (RFQ IW267420 and IW267411, due October 14, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District bidding petite bananas at $78,000 annual value (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026), DeSoto County School District seeking fresh produce across 41 school sites (IFB 3170035984, due June 22, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education requesting over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). Bidders frequently encounter Buy American requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), prevailing-wage compliance in some jurisdictions, local-vendor preferences worth evaluation points, 5% price preferences for diverse-owned certification in Wisconsin, and mandatory HACCP plans. Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with optional renewal terms. Insurance requirements (general liability $500,000–$1,000,000, workers' compensation) and delivery windows (early morning before noon) are standard. Payment terms net 30–45 days upon receipt and inspection of goods.
