UNSPSC 50303476: Ribier grapes

The variety of table grapes known as ribier grapes

UNSPSC 50303476 Ribier grapes (Commodity) shows minimal current state and local procurement activity despite the code's direct market application. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for Ribier grapes specifically; instead, the records document active procurement across broader fresh produce categories—apples, bananas, berries, lettuce, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and specialty items—issued by school districts, county boards of education, and municipal agencies serving child nutrition programs, senior services, and correctional facilities. The disconnect between the code's specificity and actual buying patterns suggests either that state and local buyers either consolidate grape procurement into broader fresh-produce line items or source Ribier grapes through existing multi-product food service contracts rather than standalone commodity buys.

The issuing bodies pursuing fresh produce across the dataset span school nutrition programs (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bulloch County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Henry County Schools, and others), county boards of education in Georgia (Dougherty, Bryan, Liberty, Savannah-Chatham), city school systems in Texas (McAllen, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut), head start and child care programs (City of Edinburg CACFP, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and specialized facilities (Santa Clara County Correctional Services). Sourcing preferences cluster around fresh, domestic commodities with Buy American compliance, local geographic sourcing where feasible (within 200–400 miles specified in multiple Georgia and Texas solicitations), and HACCP food safety certification. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia (Bulloch, Bryan, Dougherty, Glynn, Liberty, Hancock, Savannah-Chatham, Early counties) and Texas (Austin, McAllen, Dallas), with additional activity in Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden), Oregon (Central Point), and California (Santa Clara). Representative recent solicitations include Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 (sealed bids due April 14, 2026, for 16 school sites with approximately 60 produce line items), Bulloch County Schools' IFP for local produce (proposals due May 4, 2026, serving 11,200 students), and Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 (proposals due March 11, 2026, for fresh produce and beverages across all AISD locations). No current solicitations are tagged specifically to Ribier grapes; the code warrants monitoring for future standalone table-grape line-item opportunities or entry through broader fresh-produce vehicle bids.
