UNSPSC 50303461: Negria grapes

The variety of table grapes known as negria grapes

UNSPSC 50303461 Negria grapes is a Commodity code that spans table-grape procurement for child nutrition programs, school meal services, and senior programs. State and local governments purchase negria grapes—a seedless, firm-textured variety—primarily for K–12 school nutrition departments and child care food service operators. Recent solicitations show the commodity embedded in larger fresh-produce and grocery food-service contracts rather than standalone grape-only procurements, reflecting how school districts and nutrition programs consolidate produce sourcing. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, school food authorities, county boards of education, city education departments, child care networks, and senior services divisions across the continental United States. Early County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Bulloch County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and GEC Buying Cooperative (a Georgia consortium of 40 school nutrition directors) appear in recent activity. School nutrition programs are the primary market, competing on price, product quality, delivery reliability, and compliance with USDA Buy American provisions and HACCP food-safety protocols.

The geographic footprint spans the South and Southwest, with notable activity in Georgia (multiple county school systems and the statewide GEC cooperative), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Florida (Hillsborough County), and broader multi-state consortia. Representative opportunities include Bulloch County Board of Education's IFP for locally-grown produce (due May 4, 2026, RFP) specifying multiple produce items including grapes as part of a Farm to School initiative; Glynn County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for 60+ produce line items including grapes at 2,550 units (due April 14, 2026, IFB); and the GEC Buying Cooperative's cost-plus-fixed-fee RFP covering 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual produce spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas (due March 4, 2026, RFP). Vendors must comply with Buy American requirements (51% domestic agricultural content for processed goods), maintain general liability insurance (typically $1 million minimum per occurrence), submit HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, carry workers' compensation coverage, and meet E-Verify federal work authorization requirements. Payment terms are typically Net 30–45 days. Negria grapes compete in a mature, consolidated market where volume, consistency, food safety certifications, and ability to integrate with school districts' electronic ordering systems drive contract awards.
