UNSPSC 50303465: Olivette grapes

The variety of table grapes known as olivette grapes

UNSPSC 50303465 Olivette grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh grape procurement for state and local government food service operations, principally school nutrition programs, child care facilities, senior services, and corrections. Recent opportunities show grapes appearing as line items within broader fresh produce solicitations rather than as standalone contracts, reflecting how state and local buyers typically source specialty items as components of comprehensive food service procurement portfolios. When grapes do surface in state and local RFPs and ITBs, they are specified by variety (Fuji, red seedless, green seedless) and pack configuration, delivered fresh at precise ripeness stages and temperatures, and subject to Buy American requirements and HACCP compliance mandates.

School districts and county boards of education dominate recent activity under this code and related fresh produce categories, with standout repeat buyers including Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Bryan County School Nutrition Program (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with additional activity in Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon; Georgia school districts in particular have posted multiple sealed-bid and RFP fresh produce contracts through early 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Glynn County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement (IFB 27-02) for fresh produce spanning 60 line items including red and green seedless grapes at 2,550 units per item, bids due April 14, 2026; Bryan County School Nutrition Program's sealed-bid fresh produce solicitation covering approximately 1,000+ cases of grapes among other produce, bids due May 27, 2026; and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid (26-34) for 72 fresh produce items including grapes, bids due April 23, 2026. Produce procurement activity typically follows a school-year calendar with major bid openings clustered in March through May for July 1 contract start dates. Pricing is commonly structured on a per-unit or per-case basis with firm pricing for 60–90 days post-award, escalation permitted thereafter on documented market indices (USDA Atlanta Terminal Market, USDA Fruit and Vegetable Market News), and delivery required to multiple school sites on fixed weekly schedules with temperature-controlled logistics and HACCP traceability documentation mandatory across nearly all solicitations.
