UNSPSC 50303459: Muscat seedless grapes

The variety of table grapes known as muscat seedless grapes

UNSPSC 50303459 Muscat seedless grapes, a Commodity code, addresses fresh-produce procurement for institutional food service — though recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code span a broader range of school nutrition, child care, and senior services purchasing that includes fresh produce alongside other food categories rather than Muscat grapes specifically. State and local procurement offices issuing under this code include school nutrition departments (elementary through high school districts), child care food program administrators, senior services divisions, and county or municipal food service entities. The issuing-body mix is dominated by school districts, which appear in the majority of recent postings, alongside Head Start organizations, child and adult care food programs, and municipal senior services divisions. Evaluation criteria typically weight cost between 30 and 50 percent, with product quality, delivery reliability, and vendor qualifications comprising the remainder. Most solicitations require compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, traceability documentation, and liability insurance in the $500,000 to $2,000,000 range.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, where school districts across the state have posted fresh-produce bids (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Bryan County schools, plus the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts), alongside solicitations from Texas school districts (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, and the City of Edinburg CACFP program), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools and Bridgeport Board of Education), Mississippi (DeSoto County School District), Oregon (Central Point School District), and California (Santa Clara County corrections). Recent opportunities include Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for 72 fresh-produce line items (IFB Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (RFP 26039RFPDST, proposals due March 11, 2026), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's regional RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million). Contract terms typically run one school or fiscal year (July through June) with optional renewals for up to four additional one-year periods. Weekly or twice-weekly deliveries are standard, with early-morning windows (often 6:00 to 7:30 a.m.) and inside delivery to school kitchens or warehouses required. The code shows sustained procurement activity across school nutrition, child care, and institutional food service through mid-2026, with no indicators of contraction.
