UNSPSC 50303460: Napoleon grapes

The variety of table grapes known as napoleon grapes

UNSPSC 50303460 Napoleon grapes is a Commodity code that classifies fresh grape procurement, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show almost no activity related to grapes specifically. Instead, the solicitations span broad fresh produce, fruit and vegetable supply, and food-service provision — bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, apples, and other bulk produce for institutional foodservice, school nutrition programs, and correctional and healthcare facility dining operations.

The issuing bodies are diverse and geographically dispersed: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh fruit and vegetable RFQs (Palestine facility and two food warehouses); the Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health seek fresh produce for treatment centers; school districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Texas procure produce for child nutrition and CACFP meal programs; county boards of education in Georgia (Bryan County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Early County, Bartow County, DeSoto County) issue IFBs for fresh produce; municipalities including the City of San Antonio, City of Bridgeport, and City of Edinburg source groceries and food items; and specialized entities such as Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition, Collier County Parks & Recreation, and Madison Metropolitan School District conduct food-service procurement. School districts and correctional/healthcare facilities dominate recent activity. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFQ IW267376 (fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine, October 19, 2026 response deadline), Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 (petite bananas, 70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, September 2026–June 2027 term, July 29, 2026 bid deadline), Collier County ITN for North Collier Regional Park food concessions (three-year term with two one-year renewal options, March 6, 2025 response deadline), Illinois Department of Corrections RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (fresh produce to Joliet Treatment Center, bi-weekly delivery, small business set-aside, September 3, 2026 deadline), and Bryan County School Nutrition sealed bid for fresh produce (School Year 2026–2027, May 27, 2026 deadline). Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (school districts, state procurement), Texas (TDCJ, municipalities, Head Start), Illinois (DOC, DMH), and Wisconsin (school districts), with scattered opportunities in Connecticut, Florida, and Mississippi. Pricing on school-lunch contracts typically ranges from $78,000 annually (single-item, single-district banana buys) to $969,460.94 (Head Start multi-supplier grocery procurement). Most school-district and institutional procurements require Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, general liability insurance ($500,000–$1,000,000), and compliance with USDA nutrition standards and CFR 210–245 regulations; many apply local-vendor preferences or geographic-sourcing requirements (400-mile radius in Wisconsin and Georgia).
