UNSPSC 50303457: Muscat flame grapes

The variety of table grapes known as muscat flame grapes

UNSPSC 50303457 Muscat flame grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow produce line item sourced primarily by institutional food service buyers—state correctional facilities, school districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal food programs—who procure fresh fruits and vegetables for operational meal service. State and local governments do not typically solicit Muscat grapes as a standalone line; the code appears in broader fresh fruit and vegetable procurement contexts, where institutional buyers quote unit prices on district-issued or agency-issued specification sheets covering dozens of produce items simultaneously. Recent activity shows state prison systems and school nutrition programs issuing competitive bids and RFPs for fresh produce bundles that include grapes among apples, bananas, berries, citrus, and root vegetables, with delivery to central warehouses or individual facility sites on weekly or bi-weekly schedules.

The issuing body mix spans state departments of corrections (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Early County, DeSoto County, and Bartow County school systems in Georgia, Wisconsin, and Mississippi), municipal food service programs (City of Bridgeport Board of Education, City of Edinburg, and City of San Antonio), county health facilities (Collier County Parks, Illinois Department of Mental Health, Illinois Department of Corrections), and nonprofit Head Start programs. Texas and Georgia school districts account for the highest concentration of recent solicitations. Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, Illinois, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetables procurement for the Palestine facility (IW267376, RFP, due October 19, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's fresh fruit and vegetable snacks bid for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program participation (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), and Bryan County School Nutrition Program's fresh produce sealed bid for school year 2026-2027 (due May 27, 2026).
