UNSPSC 50303416: Black seedless grapes

The variety of table grapes known as black seedless grapes

UNSPSC 50303416 Black seedless grapes is a Commodity code that names a single produce line item. Recent state and local opportunities show the code being applied broadly to fresh produce and grocery procurement for institutional food service — prison kitchens, mental health facilities, school lunch programs, senior centers, and child care operations. The actual work solicited includes supply and delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables (often mixed baskets of apples, bananas, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, onions, berries, and specialty items) to multiple delivery points on weekly or bi-weekly schedules, with vendors bearing responsibility for temperature control, quality assurance, HACCP compliance, and replacement of damaged stock at no cost to the facility. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments and state mental health agencies, county school districts across multiple states, municipal school districts and food service programs, and independent child care and senior service organizations. Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears repeatedly as a buyer of fresh produce for multiple food warehouse locations. Most opportunities are issued as RFQs, RFBs, IFBs, or ITNs with response dates ranging from early to mid-June 2026 through late October 2026.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Texas (multiple TDCJ procurements), Georgia (Bryan County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Hancock County school systems), and Illinois (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), with additional procurement activity in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Connecticut (Bridgeport schools), Mississippi (DeSoto County), Florida (Collier County), and South Texas (City of Edinburg). Representative recent solicitations include Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFQ IW267376 for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to Palestine, Texas with responses due October 19, 2026; Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks to serve approximately 5,900 weekly servings to elementary students under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with bids due July 29, 2026 at $0.20 per pound preference on organic produce; Dougherty County Board of Education sealed bid procurement for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites with bids due June 16, 2026; and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for approximately $969,460.94 in frozen foods, produce, and meat products covering three supplier tiers with bids due June 24, 2026. Buy American requirements appear in school district procurements; local-vendor preferences and geographic sourcing filters (produce sourced within 400 miles) are common in educational and community nutrition programs.
