UNSPSC 50303455: Marroo seedless grapes

The variety of table grapes known as marroo seedless grapes

UNSPSC 50303455 Marroo seedless grapes, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the broader fresh produce procurement activity that dominates state and local food service spending. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code show minimal direct alignment with marroo seedless grapes specifically. Of the 30 opportunities posted between January and July 2026, only two explicitly reference seedless grapes in their scope: Glynn County Board of Education's fresh produce solicitation (IFB 27-02, April 2026) estimates 5,100 units of red and green seedless grapes annually, and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce procurement (IFB #SN002-2027, June 2026) includes seedless grape varieties in its 200+ line-item produce list. The overwhelming majority of recent activity across the code involves school districts, county boards of education, city school systems, and specialized food programs (CACFP, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, National School Lunch Program) procuring comprehensive fresh produce baskets—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes—rather than single varietal commodities.

The issuing body mix reflects the institutional food service market: school districts and county boards of education dominate (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Meriden Public Schools, Henry County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and 20+ others); city and county child nutrition programs and Head Start organizations account for smaller share (City of Edinburg CACFP, City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of San Antonio senior services); and a regional cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative across 30 Georgia districts) represents consolidated procurement. Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Oregon, with scattered opportunities in California. Representative recent solicitations include McAllen ISD's fresh produce RFP (March 2026, proposals due March 6) for 31 campuses including apples, bananas, peppers, and broccoli; Austin ISD's fresh produce and beverages RFP (February 2026, proposals due March 11) for all AISD food service locations statewide; Glynn County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (March 2026, bids due April 14) for 16 schools with 60 produce line items; and GEC Buying Cooperative's fresh produce and eggs RFP (February 2026, proposals due March 4) serving 30 Georgia districts across two geographic areas with annual spending near $5.5 million. The code shows substantial activity but for bundled fresh produce procurement rather than marroo seedless grapes as a standalone line item; vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should expect evaluation on comprehensive produce portfolios, price competitiveness, delivery reliability, HACCP compliance, and Buy American domestic-sourcing requirements rather than specialty varietal availability.
