UNSPSC 50303448: King ruby grapes

The variety of table grapes known as king ruby grapes

UNSPSC 50303448 King ruby grapes (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific grape variety for purchase, but recent opportunities tagged under this code span a broad range of food service provisioning across school districts, municipalities, and child care programs that involve produce procurement more generally—fresh fruits and vegetables, comprehensive grocery items, and meal service supplies—rather than king ruby grapes specifically. Of the 26 recent solicitations in the source block, only one directly addresses fresh produce limited to a single item type (petite bananas through Madison Metropolitan School District), and none isolate king ruby grapes as a distinct line item or procurement focus. The issuing bodies soliciting food and produce procurement include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hillsborough County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Glynn County, and others across Georgia, Florida, Texas, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Oregon), municipalities (City of Bridgeport, City of San Antonio, City of Meriden, County of Santa Clara), and child care or senior service organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of Edinburg CACFP program).

The geographic spread of recent opportunities clusters heavily in Georgia school districts and Texas independent school districts, with additional activity in Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, Oregon, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly at $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026), the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts ($5.5 million estimated annual spending across two geographic areas, due March 4, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables through the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program ($600,000 estimated annual budget, due March 11, 2026), and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages (no budget disclosed, due March 11, 2026). The code itself appears misaligned with procurement activity; vendors pursuing institutional produce supply should monitor fresh produce and food service commodity codes rather than expect focused king ruby grape demand through UNSPSC 50303448.
