UNSPSC 50303428: Early muscat grapes

The variety of table grapes known as early muscat grapes

UNSPSC 50303428 Early muscat grapes, a Commodity code, sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a single produce variety, but the recent opportunities indexed under it span broad food service procurement across child care programs, school nutrition, senior services, and corrections facilities — encompassing fresh produce generally rather than early muscat grapes specifically. Of the 27 posted opportunities, none explicitly names early muscat grapes as a line item; most solicit mixed fresh produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables) or comprehensive food and supplies packages. One opportunity names petite bananas; another, dried fruits and nuts. The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied during posting as a catch-all for produce procurement without precision to the specific commodity.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, McAllen Independent, Austin Independent, Savannah-Chatham, Hillsborough County Public, and others across Georgia), county school boards and nutrition programs, city and county food service departments (Bridgeport, San Antonio, Meriden), child care and Head Start programs (City of Edinburg CACFP, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and one county corrections facility (Santa Clara). School nutrition programs dominate, with Georgia counties representing the largest geographic cluster. The GEC Buying Cooperative procurement spans 30 school districts across two Georgia areas. Representative recent opportunities include the Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program RFP (posted February 14, 2026, proposals due March 11, 2026) for specialty fresh produce delivery to 18 elementary schools; the Madison Metropolitan School District petite banana bid (posted July 8, 2026, bids due July 29, 2026) under ITB 4162 with estimated annual contract value of $78,000; and the GEC Buying Cooperative SN 26-004 fresh produce and eggs RFP (posted February 4, 2026, proposals due March 4, 2026) spanning 30 Georgia districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million. Nearly all recent solicitations require compliance with the Buy American Act, HACCP plans, food safety certifications, and delivery to multiple school or program sites on fixed weekly schedules. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with additional recent opportunities in Connecticut, Oregon, Mississippi, and California. The code shows active state and local procurement but does not track clearly to early muscat grapes as a distinct procurement line.
