UNSPSC 50303465: Olivette grapes

The variety of table grapes known as olivette grapes

UNSPSC 50303465 Olivette grapes is a Commodity code encompassing fresh produce supply to institutional foodservice operations — state correctional facilities, county regional parks, school districts, mental health centers, child care programs, and senior services departments. State and local governments solicit this code primarily for weekly or bi-weekly bulk produce delivery to cafeterias, food warehouses, and central distribution points. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), county school boards and nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), city and county parks and recreation departments (Collier County, San Antonio), and specialized facility operators (Illinois Department of Mental Health, Marion Health Care Coalition). A handful of buyers issue multiple solicitations within the recent window; Texas TDCJ issued at least three fresh-fruit-and-vegetable RFQs in September-October 2026 alone, and Madison Metropolitan School District issued separate bids for petite bananas and fresh-fruit-and-vegetable snacks in July 2026.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Connecticut, Florida, and Mississippi, with school districts and state departments of corrections and mental health driving the bulk of volume. Representative current opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's bi-weekly fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply to the Palestine facility (RFQ IW267376, due October 19, 2026), the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' food-services concession operation at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025), the Illinois Department of Mental Health's fresh-fruits-and-vegetables contract for Madden Mental Health Center (RFQ 27444DHSMENTHB53608, due August 14, 2026), and the Madison Metropolitan School District's petite-banana procurement (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000). School nutrition programs frequently apply Buy American and domestic-sourcing preferences, locational filters favoring regional suppliers within 400 miles, and set-asides or evaluation preferences for small-business, minority-owned, woman-owned, and diverse-owned vendors. Delivery schedules are tight — many require pre-dawn warehouse delivery windows (5:00–7:00 a.m.), bi-weekly or weekly service with no-surcharge pricing, temperature-controlled transport, and minimum fill rates (95–98 percent). Institutional buyers mandate HACCP plans, food-safety compliance, liability insurance, and worker compensation coverage.
