UNSPSC 50303451: Lady finger grapes

The variety of table grapes known as lady finger grapes

UNSPSC 50303451 Lady finger grapes, a Commodity code, represents a narrow produce line that state and local governments procure almost exclusively through broader fresh-produce and food-service solicitations rather than as a standalone item. The recent opportunity records show no dedicated procurements for lady finger grapes alone; instead, they appear only as one line item within comprehensive fresh-fruit-and-vegetable contracts or institutional food-service bids that span dozens or hundreds of produce varieties. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code tier include state departments of criminal justice and mental health, county and city school districts, county health systems, municipal parks and recreation departments, and cities operating senior services. The work is tactical procurement of fresh produce for institutional meal programs—prisons, mental health facilities, K–12 school nutrition, senior centers, child care programs—where vendors supply multiple produce items to central warehouses or direct to site kitchens on weekly or bi-weekly schedules, typically under firm fixed pricing with F.O.B. Destination delivery, HACCP compliance, liability insurance, and Buy American or domestic-sourcing requirements.

Geographic concentration in the recent record spans Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Illinois (Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Georgia (Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Bryan County Schools, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools), Florida (Collier County), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Mississippi (DeSoto County School District), and single records from Michigan (Marion Health Care Coalition) and Texas again (San Antonio senior services). Among representative procurements, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued separate IFBs for fresh fruit and vegetables to the Palestine facility (due October 19, 2026, Solicitation IW267376) and the Wynne and Snyder food warehouses (due October 14, 2026, IFBs IW267411 and IW267420); Madison Metropolitan School District released RFBs for petite bananas at $78,000 annual value (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison at approximately 5,900 servings weekly (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); and Dougherty County Board of Education, Georgia, solicited fresh produce across 40 line items to 24 school sites (sealed bid due June 16, 2026, PE64710NONST2027000000078). None of the recent records identify a lady finger grape as the primary or exclusive procurement focus—the code's narrow commodity definition does not align with the bundled, multi-item produce buys that dominate state and local institutional food procurement today.
