UNSPSC 50303450: La rochelle grapes

The variety of table grapes known as la rochelle grapes

UNSPSC 50303450 La Rochelle Grapes is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code. Recent postings show solicitations for broad fresh produce supply — including bananas, apples, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and mixed vegetables — to schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior centers, and other public institutions, not specialized grape procurement. The code's nominal scope appears misaligned with current state and local buying patterns, suggesting either category mistagging in individual procurements or a code rarely used in its intended narrowly specified form.

A diverse mix of issuing bodies solicits fresh produce: Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple food warehouse supply contracts), school districts across Georgia (Bryan County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Early County, Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County), Illinois Department of Mental Health and Illinois Department of Corrections, Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), City of San Antonio Senior Services, City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), City of Edinburg (Texas), and Head Start of Greater Dallas. School nutrition programs represent the largest segment, typically procuring under IFB or RFQ with annual or nine-month terms. Correctional facilities, mental health centers, and senior services represent secondary categories. Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi; Georgia school districts show the highest frequency in the dataset. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable delivery to prison food warehouses (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411) with October 2026 response dates. Madison Metropolitan School District issued bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, $78,000 estimated annual value, July 29 deadline) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, July 29 deadline, with 5% Wisconsin diversity preference and local-sourcing requirement within 400 miles). Dougherty County Board of Education sought fresh produce for 24 school sites (40 line items, June 16, 2026 bid deadline) and Bartow County School System solicited local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (June 22 proposal deadline). Collier County's ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services included fresh produce as part of a broader concession and catering scope (March 6, 2025 deadline, 10-point local-vendor preference). Head Start of Greater Dallas requested grocery products including produce across primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers (June 24, 2026 deadline, $969,460.94 estimated value, four optional one-year renewals).
