UNSPSC 50303463: Niabell grapes

The variety of table grapes known as niabell grapes

UNSPSC 50303463 Niabell grapes (Commodity) is rarely solicited directly by state and local governments; the code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its specific product designation. Of the 27 recent opportunities reviewed across school districts, county systems, cities, and special-purpose entities, none explicitly target Niabell grapes as a line item. The procurement environment for fresh produce under related codes focuses broadly on mixed fresh fruit procurement, with bananas, apples, berries, and commodity-grade citrus dominating school nutrition and child care food program solicitations. Soliciting bodies span public school systems in multiple states (Georgia, Florida, Texas, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Oregon, California), county boards of education, city departments serving senior and child nutrition programs, and cooperative purchasing consortiums. A few high-activity jurisdictions—notably Georgia school districts, Texas independent school districts, and Wisconsin and Florida school systems—issue repeated fresh produce solicitations across multiple fiscal periods, but the specificity of branded or heirloom grape varieties does not emerge as a procurement driver.

Representative solicitations underscore the shape of institutional fresh produce buying: Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas (response due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (July 29, 2026), both narrow-scope items with defined specifications and local-sourcing preferences; the GEC Buying Cooperative through Douglas County School System (Georgia) solicited fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas via RFP SN 26-004 (response due March 4, 2026), a multi-district cooperative with approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending and approximately 72 line items; and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) sought specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (RFP 26039RFPDST, proposal due March 11, 2026), a cost-plus model emphasizing variety and educational exposure. None of these solicitations identified Niabell grapes by name or sought varietal specificity beyond standard market grades. Pursuit of this code requires vendor positioning around mixed fresh-fruit procurement to school nutrition departments and child care food programs, with a realistic assessment that orders for branded or specialty grape varieties would compete within broader fresh-fruit line items rather than as standalone commodities.
