UNSPSC 50303414: Black monukka grapes

The variety of table grapes known as black monukka grapes

UNSPSC 50303414 Black monukka grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with actual state and local procurement activity under the code. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code—or closely adjacent fresh produce codes—focus on mainstream produce categories for school nutrition and institutional food service, not specialty grape varieties. The City of Edinburg, Texas, the Madison Metropolitan School District, the City of Bridgeport, Head Start of Greater Dallas, DeSoto County School District, and multiple Georgia school systems are procuring fresh fruits and vegetables for child nutrition and school meal programs, with representative examples including RFP 2026-017 (Edinburg CACFP meal program, due August 4, 2026), RFB 4162 (Madison Metropolitan petite bananas, due July 29, 2026), RFB 4163 (Madison fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, due July 29, 2026), and numerous school nutrition RFPs and ITBs across Georgia (Hancock County, DeSoto County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, and others). These procurements specify bananas, apples, carrots, broccoli, berries, peppers, tomatoes, melons, and other commodity staples—not black monukka grapes. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education, with occasional municipal and nonprofit food-service authorities. Pricing is on a line-item, per-case, or per-pound basis; many solicitations employ cost-plus-fixed-fee or USDA-indexed pricing models and emphasize local or domestic sourcing where feasible.

The geographic spread is heavily concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, California, and Mississippi. Georgia school districts—including Hancock County, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County, and Savannah-Chatham County—dominate recent postings with multiple solicitations for fresh produce spanning March through July 2026. Texas districts (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD) and the City of Edinburg also show active procurement. School nutrition procurement is a high-volume, recurring activity with annual contracting cycles aligned to the July–June fiscal year, firm pricing requirements, HACCP and food safety compliance mandates, and Buy American or domestic-sourcing preferences. The code shows no recent activity specific to specialty or varietal grapes; pursuit should focus on broader fresh produce categories and distribution capabilities serving school nutrition and institutional food service rather than niche fruit varieties.
