UNSPSC 50303424: Concord seedless grapes

The variety of table grapes known as concord seedless grapes

UNSPSC 50303424 Concord seedless grapes is a Commodity code capturing fresh fruit and vegetable procurement by state and local food-service operations. State and local governments buy under this code primarily to supply correctional facilities, mental-health centers, school districts, senior centers, and child-care programs. Recent solicitations show demand for fresh produce delivered on fixed schedules with strict quality and food-safety compliance, often requiring HACCP plans, traceability documentation, and USDA compliance certifications. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school systems (Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, Bartow County school districts in Georgia and Mississippi), city and county government agencies (Collier County Parks and Recreation, San Antonio Department of Human Services, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and specialized procurement vehicles such as Head Start child-care networks and health coalitions. State and local procurement bodies consistently impose Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in many cases), local-vendor preferences worth 5–10 evaluation points, and small-business set-asides or diversity certifications. Contract values range from under $5,000 to approximately $969,000 estimated annual spend (Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP), with typical school-district produce contracts running $78,000–$150,000+ annually.
