UNSPSC 50303431: Emperatriz grapes

The variety of table grapes known as emperatriz grapes

UNSPSC 50303431 Emperatriz grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local government procurement activity shown in the recent opportunities block. The source identifies no recent solicitations for Emperatriz grapes or any other fresh grape variety under this specific code. The opportunities posted between January and July 2026 span fresh produce broadly—including apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, berries, and stone fruits—across school nutrition programs, child care food programs, senior services, and correctional facilities in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, California, and Oregon, but none explicitly name Emperatriz grapes as a line item. While grapes appear in a handful of solicitations (Glynn County Board of Education and Bulloch County School District both reference seedless grapes in estimated case quantities), the code's nominal specificity to a single cultivar does not map to purchasing patterns in the data. The issuing bodies span school districts, county boards of education, independent school districts, county sheriffs' offices, city purchasing departments, and federal Head Start grantees, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school nutrition procurement.

State and local governments buying under fresh-produce codes typically issue IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs for full-year school nutrition supply contracts (July through June) with response deadlines in March through June. Evaluation commonly weights cost between 30 and 50 percent, quality and delivery between 20 and 40 percent, and compliance (Buy American, HACCP, insurance, debarment) as mandatory gates. The code shows little current market signal; pursue only if your firm holds an existing commodity relationship with a school district or food service authority and can confirm internal demand for this specific cultivar.
