UNSPSC 50303447: Jubilee grapes

The variety of table grapes known as jubilee grapes

UNSPSC 50303447 Jubilee grapes, a Commodity code, represents fresh fruit procurement by state and local school districts and public agencies for child nutrition and senior services programs. Recent solicitations show school nutrition departments sourcing jubilee grapes as part of broader fresh produce buys supporting the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The code encompasses direct purchase of individual produce items where jubilee grapes appear as line items within comprehensive food service contracts rather than standalone procurements. Issuing bodies include school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), county boards of education (Glynn County, Bulloch County, Henry County, Dougherty County), cities purchasing for child care or senior programs (City of Edinburg, Texas; City of San Antonio), and regional cooperatives aggregating demand across multiple districts (GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 Georgia school districts). School nutrition departments dominate the recent activity, with most opportunities bundling jubilee grapes into broader fresh produce line items priced on a per-case, per-unit, or cost-plus-fixed-fee basis.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, and Connecticut, with secondary presence in Oregon, California, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for 72 fresh produce line items including grapes (Bid 26-34, sealed bids due April 23, 2026), GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP covering 30 Georgia districts for approximately 70 produce line items including grapes across two geographic areas ($5.5 million estimated annual spending, proposals due March 4, 2026), and Glynn County Board of Education's IFB for 60 produce items including specialty grape varieties for 16 school sites (sealed bids due April 14, 2026). McAllen Independent School District in Texas solicited fresh produce including grapes for 31 campuses serving 20,000 students (RFP 2026-1029, proposals due March 6, 2026). Most school district procurements employ sealed-bid or RFP methods with weekly or monthly delivery requirements, firm pricing for initial contract periods (typically 90 days to one year), and renewable terms extending up to five years. Evaluation criteria typically weight cost heavily (40–50 percent), with quality, delivery reliability, and vendor experience at 20–30 percent combined. Buy American provisions appear in nearly all school nutrition procurements, mandating domestic agricultural commodities or products with 51 percent domestic content. Insurance requirements range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability coverage, and HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility are standard.
