UNSPSC 50303412: Black giant grapes

The variety of table grapes known as black giant grapes

UNSPSC 50303412 Black giant grapes, a Commodity code, does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The recent opportunities posted under this code span fresh produce distribution for school nutrition programs, child care food programs, and correctional facilities—encompassing apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, berries, eggs, dried fruits, nuts, and other commodity foods. Black giant grapes appear nowhere in the solicitation scope documents or item specifications across the 30+ posted opportunities. The code's nominal scope (a single produce variety) and the actual buying activity (institutional food service procurement across dozens of produce line items and commodity categories) represent a fundamental mismatch, suggesting either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or an artifact of how broad produce categories are tagged at purchase-order time.

State and local buyers posting under this code span school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin; Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Early County, and Liberty County Boards of Education in Georgia; Henry County Schools in Georgia; McAllen Independent School District in Texas; Austin Independent School District in Texas; Central Point School District in Oregon; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut), county and municipal nutrition programs (City of Edinburg, Texas; City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; DeSoto County School District in Mississippi; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), special-purpose nutrition cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts), Head Start and child care agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc.), city senior services (City of San Antonio), and county corrections food services (Santa Clara County, California). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and the broader Southeast, with secondary activity in the Midwest and West. Recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (weekly 70–90 cases, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026); City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP meal program RFP 2026-017 (food and nonfood items for 400 children daily, five supply categories including beverages, produce, and proteins, local-vendor preference under Texas Government Code Section 271.9051, due August 4, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce (18 elementary schools, pre-cut and pre-packaged items, $600,000 annual budget, estimated award August 4, 2026); and GEC Buying Cooperative SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia geographic areas (estimated $5.5 million annual value, due March 4, 2026, with July 1, 2026 contract start). Without evidence that black giant grapes are being solicited as a discrete commodity in recent opportunities, pursuit under this code is not supported by current procurement patterns.
