UNSPSC 50303454: Malaga grapes

The variety of table grapes known as malaga grapes

UNSPSC 50303454 Malaga grapes is a Commodity code representing fresh fruit supply to state and local institutions, though recent solicitation activity under this code tag spans broader fresh produce procurement — not Malaga grapes specifically. State and local buyers using this code are procuring fresh fruits and vegetables for correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services, parks and recreation departments, and child care programs. The work involves commodity supply and delivery of fresh produce meeting food safety, quality, and regulatory standards, with vendors typically bearing transportation costs to designated delivery locations and complying with USDA or state nutritional and sourcing requirements. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county boards of education and county health authorities across Georgia and Mississippi, municipal school districts (Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County), a county parks authority (Collier County), and child nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of Edinburg Child and Adult Care Food Program, City of San Antonio senior services).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, and Georgia, with secondary opportunities in Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Florida. Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable procurements for its Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (responses due October 14, 2026, and October 19, 2026 respectively via IFBs IW267420 and IW267376), the Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center fresh produce contract for fiscal year 2027 (small purchase, due August 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' Joliet Treatment Center produce procurement with bi-weekly delivery and a small business set-aside (RFQ, due September 3, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana solicitation (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks solicitation with Wisconsin-sourced and organic preference pricing (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), and Bartow County School System's local fresh fruits and vegetables RFP emphasizing 400-mile sourcing from local farms (due June 22, 2026). School districts and correctional systems dominate recent activity; many include Buy American or domestic-sourcing requirements, HACCP compliance, food safety certifications, and general liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000. Set-asides for small, minority, and women-owned businesses appear in Illinois and Georgia school procurements; local-vendor preferences apply in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Wisconsin.
