UNSPSC 50303443: Gold grapes

The variety of table grapes known as gold grapes

UNSPSC 50303443 Gold grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce supply and delivery to state and local institutions, though the recent opportunities in the dataset focus predominantly on mixed fresh fruits and vegetables rather than grapes specifically. State and local governments procure under this code to supply school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, child care programs, and parks and recreation departments with fresh produce for meal service, snacks, and food distribution. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county and city governments (Collier County, DeSoto County Schools, the City of San Antonio, the City of Bridgeport), Head Start agencies, and special-purpose health and senior services organizations. Scope ranges from narrow single-item procurements—Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas RFB specifying 70–90 cases weekly at $78,000 annually—to broad multi-line fresh fruit and vegetable contracts serving multiple school sites or institutional kitchens across a season or fiscal year. Many solicitations require domestic sourcing (Buy American compliance), HACCP plans, weekly or bi-weekly delivery schedules, compliance with food safety and nutritional standards (USDA, CACFP, National School Lunch Program), and refrigerated transportation.

Recent activity spans Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and other states, with school district nutrition programs and state correctional and mental health departments driving the majority of visible solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable procurement for its Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (IFB, responses due October 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center fresh fruits and vegetables contract for fiscal year 2027 under small purchase (due August 14, 2026), the Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas RFB (RFB 4162, bids due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 estimated annual value) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks RFB with Wisconsin-sourced locational preference (RFB 4163, bids due July 29, 2026), and multiple Georgia school district produce procurements including Hancock County Board of Education (IFB, bids due June 26, 2026 for the 2026–27 school year) and Bryan County School Nutrition (sealed bid, due May 27, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concession facilities (ITN 258360, proposals due March 6, 2025, with 10-point local-vendor preference). The market remains active with frequent school-year renewals (July through June contract cycles) and institutional supply cycles driven by federal nutrition program funding and meal-volume projections.
