UNSPSC 50303413: Black globe grapes

The variety of table grapes known as black globe grapes

UNSPSC 50303413 Black globe grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce under this code as components of broader food-service supply contracts for correctional facilities, mental health centers, schools, senior programs, and child care operations. The code appears in solicitations alongside other fresh fruit and vegetable line items rather than as a standalone procurement; black globe grapes are typically one item within a larger produce basket serving institutional food operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county and municipal school districts, county boards of education, city senior services divisions, and non-profit child care and Head Start organizations. Texas leads recent activity, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing multiple fresh produce solicitations (IW267376, IW267420, and IW267411) for food-warehouse supply during September and October 2026. Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida also appear as active jurisdictions. School nutrition programs dominate the institutional customer base, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, DeSoto County School District, Early County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, and Dougherty County Board of Education all soliciting fresh produce during the spring and early summer 2026 cycle.
