UNSPSC 50303468: Prima black seedless grapes

The variety of table grapes known as prima black seedless grapes

UNSPSC 50303468 Prima black seedless grapes is a Commodity code that identifies a specific fresh-fruit product line. State and local governments procure fresh produce — including but not limited to grapes — principally for institutional food service operations: correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior centers, and child nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show that buyers treat this Commodity code alongside broader fresh-fruit and fresh-vegetable categories rather than as a standalone line item; grapes appear within larger produce tenders alongside apples, bananas, berries, and seasonal stone fruits. The work involves supply of fresh, marketable product meeting USDA grade and freshness standards, prompt delivery to designated warehouse or facility locations on fixed or flexible schedules, compliance with food-safety and traceability requirements (HACCP plans, farm-of-origin documentation, temperature control), and often bulk handling and portion control suited to high-volume institutional kitchens. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and mental health agencies, county and municipal school districts, county boards of education, city parks and recreation departments, and specialized food-service networks such as Head Start grantees and child and adult care food program (CACFP) operators.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida, with Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia school districts appearing as repeat solicitors. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's solicitations IW267376 (fresh fruit and vegetables for Palestine facility, RFP, due October 19, 2026), IW267411 (fresh fruit and vegetables for Wynne Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026), and IW267420 (fresh fruit and vegetables for Snyder Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections' solicitation 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center, RFQ with small-business set-aside, due September 3, 2026); and multiple Georgia school nutrition programs including Bryan County Schools (sealed bid for fresh produce, due May 27, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (over 200 produce line items, due June 26, 2026), and Dougherty County Board of Education (40 produce line items, due June 16, 2026). Most solicitations require F.O.B. Destination pricing with transportation included, mandate 95–98 percent fill rates or next-day substitution guarantees, and run annual or multi-month contract terms with optional renewal periods.
