UNSPSC 50303439: Flame tokay grapes

The variety of table grapes known as flame tokay grapes

UNSPSC 50303439 Flame Tokay Grapes (Commodity) represents fresh produce supply to institutional food service operations, with state and local governments purchasing grapes and allied fresh fruit and vegetable items through school districts, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services divisions, and regional health coalitions. The work spans full-line produce contracting—sourcing, quality assurance, temperature-controlled delivery, compliance with USDA and food-safety standards, and bi-weekly to weekly replenishment schedules—as well as single-commodity procurement for specific fruit categories. Issuing bodies range across state departments of corrections and mental health (Texas TDCJ, Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health), county school districts (Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bartow County in multiple states), municipal senior services and food programs (City of San Antonio, City of Bridgeport, City of Edinburg), and specialized nonprofits (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts represent the dominant buyer category, typically soliciting under the National School Lunch Program with Buy American provisions and CACFP compliance requirements.
