UNSPSC 50303410: Black beauty seedless grapes

The variety of table grapes known as black beauty seedless grapes

UNSPSC 50303410 Black beauty seedless grapes, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh grape procurement for state and local government institutions, particularly school nutrition programs, child care food services, and county correctional facilities. State and local governments buy fresh produce under this code primarily to support National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, Child and Adult Care Food Programs (CACFP), and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs across K-12 school districts, early childhood centers, and specialized meal services. Recent solicitations show school districts sourcing fresh grapes as part of broader produce bundles for student nutrition, with black beauty seedless grapes specified alongside apples, bananas, berries, and seasonal vegetables in comprehensive food service contracts.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bartow County, Early County, Henry County, and the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts), Texas school districts and early childhood programs (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, City of Edinburg CACFP), Florida school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut school districts (Meriden Public Schools), Oregon school districts (Central Point School District), Georgia Head Start agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas, though based in Texas), the City of San Antonio Senior Services, and California county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff). Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Oregon, and California. Representative solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items including multiple grape varieties (due June 26, 2026); McAllen Independent School District RFP 2026-1029 for fresh produce across 31 campuses (proposals due March 6, 2026); and the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 aggregating procurement for 30 Georgia school districts with estimated combined annual spending of $5.5 million in fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026). Procurement notices typically specify delivery schedules (weekly or bi-weekly), temperature control requirements, HACCP compliance, domestic sourcing preferences under Buy American provisions, and quality standards aligned with USDA food safety regulations.
