UNSPSC 50303484: Sugarose grapes

The variety of table grapes known as sugarose grapes

UNSPSC 50303484 Sugarose grapes is a Commodity code for fresh produce sold to state and local agencies, primarily through school nutrition programs, corrections departments, senior services, and institutional food service operations. State and local governments procure fresh fruits and vegetables under this code via sealed-bid and request-for-proposal mechanisms to supply meal programs serving incarcerated individuals, schoolchildren, seniors, and patients in mental health and medical facilities. Recent solicitations show procurement focused on high-volume fresh produce supply—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, and seasonal items—delivered weekly or bi-weekly to central warehouses and distributed across multiple institutional sites.

School districts dominate recent activity, including Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162 for petite bananas, $78,000 estimated annual value; RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks serving approximately 5,900 servings weekly), Bryan County Schools (sealed bid for fresh produce including 1,024 cases of apples, 825 cases of strawberries, 790+ cases of onions, due May 27, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple apple and vegetable varieties, bids due June 26, 2026), and Dougherty County Board of Education (40 produce line items with estimated yearly usage quantities, bids due June 16, 2026). Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted three separate fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations (IW267376 for Palestine facility due October 19, 2026; IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse and IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse, both due October 14, 2026). Illinois Department of Corrections issued RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 for bi-weekly fresh produce delivery with small business set-aside (due September 3, 2026); Illinois Department of Mental Health posted RFQ 27444DHSMENTHB53608 for weekly fresh fruit and vegetable deliveries through June 30, 2027 (due August 14, 2026). Georgia school districts account for the largest recent cluster (Bartow County requesting local sourcing within 400 miles with weighted evaluation on cost, seasonal variety, and delivery proficiency; Early County covering 300+ food line items plus produce). Texas municipalities and child care programs also appear: City of Edinburg RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program serving approximately 400 children (beverages, produce, proteins, paper goods, janitorial supplies, due August 4, 2026); Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce with estimated value $969,460.94 (pre-bid April 16, 2026; bids due June 24, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park with local-vendor preference (10 evaluation points), due March 6, 2025. DeSoto County School District requires bi-annual fixed-fee-plus-reimbursable-cost fresh produce distribution across 41 school sites (bids due June 22, 2026). City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items for the Board of Education supporting the National School Lunch Program across 1,100+ line items (bids due June 30, 2026). City of San Antonio Department of Human Services issued RFP 26-070 for produce market operation and delivery at 15 senior center sites (due May 27, 2026). Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia (six recent school district procurements), Texas (three TDCJ facilities, two municipal/child care programs), Illinois (two state institutional facilities), Wisconsin (school district), Connecticut, and Mississippi, with pricing typically firm for contract term unless escalation clauses based on USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices apply. Buy American domestic-content requirements and USDA compliance predominate; local-vendor preferences appear in Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida procurements. Set-asides for small business, minority-owned, and woman-owned vendors appear in Illinois, Texas, and Georgia solicitations.
