UNSPSC 50303475: Regina grapes

The variety of table grapes known as regina grapes

UNSPSC 50303475 Regina grapes (Commodity) is a narrow produce line that state and local governments procure almost exclusively as part of broader fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, and senior services. The code appears in solicitations only when an issuing body tags a produce-supply opportunity with a specific fruit identifier rather than a higher-tier family code. In practice, Regina grapes are bought as one line item within much larger fresh-produce RFQs, RFBs, and ITNs that specify dozens or hundreds of produce items, quantities, delivery schedules, and quality standards. The buying pattern reflects institutional meal-service operations: school districts dominate, followed by state departments of corrections and mental health, municipal senior services, and Head Start programs. Issuing bodies typically require weekly or bi-weekly deliveries, USDA compliance, food-safety certifications (HACCP plans, E-Verify), and insurance ($500,000 to $1 million general liability minimum). Buy American provisions and domestic-sourcing preferences are common in school nutrition procurement.

Activity is concentrated in the South and Midwest, with recent posting clusters in Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Florida. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh-produce solicitations (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411) for facility food warehouses with October 2026 response deadlines; Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas with a $78,000 estimated annual value and July 29, 2026 deadline; Bartow County School System and Bryan County School Nutrition (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and Dougherty County Board of Education (Georgia) all solicited fresh produce with June 2026 deadlines. A Collier County (Florida) ITN for food services at regional parks included produce within a broader concession-operations scope. The code shows no set-aside concentration, though some school districts apply local-vendor or diverse-owned-business preferences. Pursuit viability depends on scale — Regina grapes as a line item typically represent a small fraction of total contract value within multi-thousand-line institutional food-service awards, making unit-price discipline and reliable delivery logistics the primary competitive levers.
