UNSPSC 50303473: Red malaga grapes

The variety of table grapes known as red malaga grapes

UNSPSC 50303473 Red malaga grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are procuring fresh produce for child nutrition programs, school meal services, and senior center food distribution, though the recent opportunities show minimal activity specifically for red malaga grapes. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader institutional fresh produce procurement where red malaga grapes would be one line item among dozens of fruit and vegetable varieties. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), DeSoto County School District (Mississippi), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), and Austin Independent School District (Texas)—alongside child care and senior service agencies. The code also captures multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles, such as the GEC Buying Cooperative consortium of 40 Georgia school nutrition directors. Procurement types span sealed IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response dates typically 30–60 days from posting. Buy American requirements and CACFP or USDA compliance dominate specification language across all visible opportunities.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Oregon, with Georgia school districts representing the highest concentration of recent postings. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies (due August 4, 2026) demonstrates activity in Texas local government child nutrition contracting. Most opportunities specify firm fixed pricing, weekly deliveries to multiple school sites, HACCP compliance, general liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2 million, and no specific set-asides for disadvantaged vendors. No opportunities in the block explicitly target red malaga grapes as a sole-source or primary commodity—the code appears underutilized or conflated with broader fresh produce line items in state and local procurement systems.
