UNSPSC 50303423: Concord grapes

The variety of table grapes known as concord grapes

UNSPSC 50303423 Concord grapes is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce, though recent opportunities show the code being applied more broadly to general fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts rather than Concord grapes specifically. State and local buyers using this code include school districts, correctional and mental health facilities, senior services agencies, and county governments operating food-service programs. School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts across Georgia, Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Texas issuing IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce to support school lunch and breakfast programs, Head Start services, and USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program grants. Correctional agencies—notably the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Illinois Department of Corrections—solicit produce regularly for institutional food warehouses and detention facilities. County boards of education and regional health coalitions round out the buyer base, with most opportunities emphasizing compliance with USDA nutrition standards, food safety protocols, and domestic sourcing preferences under Buy American provisions.

Recent solicitations span Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Connecticut, with the densest recent activity in Georgia school districts. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable solicitation for its Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (IW267420 and IW267411, due October 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections request for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026, under small business set-aside), Madison Metropolitan School District's bids for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4162 and 4163, due July 29, 2026), and multiple Georgia school-district RFPs including Hancock County (June 26, 2026), Dougherty County (June 16, 2026), and Bartow County (June 22, 2026). Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with renewal options; pricing is firm for the contract term unless escalation clauses based on USDA or Labor Department indices apply. Delivery is weekly or bi-weekly, often early morning, with F.O.B. Destination pricing, 97–98 percent fill-rate guarantees, and requirements for HACCP plans, liability insurance ($500,000–$1 million), and compliance documentation including E-Verify authorization and debarment verification.
