UNSPSC 50303471: Red blush grapes

The variety of table grapes known as red blush grapes

UNSPSC 50303471 Red blush grapes is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy, yet state and local procurement activity under this code shows virtually no direct alignment with grapes themselves. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged with this code predominantly solicit broad institutional food procurement—fresh produce categories spanning dozens of line items, meal programs, and school nutrition services where red blush grapes may appear as one item among many others, if at all. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and others across Georgia and beyond), municipal education authorities (Austin Independent, McAllen Independent, Meriden Public Schools, Central Point School District), child and adult care food program operators (City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas, DeSoto County), and county cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). The work being solicited includes produce distribution contracts, fresh fruit and vegetable program support, school nutrition grocery bids, and farm-to-school procurement, with contracts structured variously as RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, which accounts for the plurality of recent postings (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, GEC Buying Cooperative), alongside scattered activity in Texas (Edinburg, Dallas, McAllen, Austin), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden), Oregon (Central Point), California (Santa Clara County), and Mississippi (DeSoto County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas Child and Adult Care Food Program RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) soliciting food and nonfood items for 400 children ages 1-18 across five supply categories including fresh fruits; Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas IFB (4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks RFB (4163, due July 29, 2026) with estimated annual value of $78,000 and strict specification requirements; Hillsborough County Public Schools fresh fruit and vegetable program RFP (26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000) for specialty produce delivery to 18 elementary schools; and the GEC Buying Cooperative procurement through Douglas County School System (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covering 30 Georgia districts with estimated Area One spending of $4.4 million and Area Two spending of $1.1 million. The code itself shows low signal-to-noise: most tagging reflects broad commodity procurement where grapes represent a minor line item rather than the primary focus, making targeted pursuit under this specific code code inefficient relative to broader fresh produce or school nutrition food service codes.
