UNSPSC 50303442: Gamay grapes

The variety of table grapes known as gamay grapes

UNSPSC 50303442 Gamay grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within fresh produce procurement, but state and local governments buy gamay grapes only incidentally as part of broader fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts. Recent opportunities show that issuing bodies procure fresh produce through comprehensive commodity baskets rather than purchasing varietal grapes as standalone items. The actual buying activity under this code spans institutional food service for correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services, child care programs, and county parks—all of which specify fresh produce requirements in standardized case quantities but do not isolate gamay grapes as a distinct line item or contracting focus. Issuing bodies include state correctional and mental health departments, school nutrition programs, county boards of education, municipal parks departments, and specialized service agencies. The work involves delivery of produce meeting USDA and food-safety standards, compliance with prevailing wage and Buy American requirements where applicable, maintenance of cold-chain logistics, and adherence to HACCP protocols.

Gamay grapes appear in state and local procurement activity across Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Arizona, though the recent-opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting gamay grapes by varietal name or UNSPSC commodity code. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple RFPs for fresh fruit and vegetables to food warehouses serving correctional facilities (IW267376 for Palestine, IW267420 for Snyder, IW267411 for Wynne, all with October 2026 deadlines), but these solicit generalized produce without gamay specification. School districts dominate the procurement landscape: Madison Metropolitan School District requested bids for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFBs 4162 and 4163, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce with over 200 line items spanning multiple apple, berry, and vegetable varieties (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); Dougherty County Board of Education requested sealed bids on 40 produce line items (bid due June 16, 2026); Bryan County Schools issued a sealed bid for fresh produce for SY 2026–2027 (due May 27, 2026). Illinois Department of Corrections requested fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center (small-business set-aside, IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026), and Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center sought fresh fruits and vegetables (small purchase, due August 14, 2026). No issuer has singled out gamay grapes as a procurement line or awarded a contract specifically for the variety, indicating minimal pursued activity under this Commodity code.
