UNSPSC 50303413: Black globe grapes

The variety of table grapes known as black globe grapes

UNSPSC 50303413 Black globe grapes is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within fresh fruit procurement for state and local institutions. The code appears in state and local procurement almost exclusively as a component of broader fresh produce or grocery solicitations serving school nutrition programs, child care food programs, and institutional food service operations rather than as a standalone purchase category. Recent state and local opportunities tag this code when procuring mixed fresh fruit assortments that include grapes alongside apples, bananas, berries, citrus, and seasonal produce for meal service delivery.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg's CACFP meal program solicitation (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) seeking multiple food categories including fresh fruits for child care, and the McAllen Independent School District's child nutrition fresh produce RFP (2026-1029) serving 20,000 students across 31 campuses. Georgia school districts—including Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Henry County, Liberty County, and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools—have issued multiple fresh produce bids in recent months, most on an IFB or RFP basis with contract terms running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. These procurements typically require weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites, compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP food safety standards, firm pricing for initial contract periods, and vendor insurance of $500,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability coverage. Geographic preference and local-sourcing requirements appear in several Georgia and Texas solicitations, with some districts explicitly requesting produce within specified mileage ranges (50–400 miles). The code shows no recent standalone activity; all procurement volume flows through larger institutional food service contracts where black globe grapes would be one line item among 40–300 total produce or food product specifications.
