UNSPSC 50303489: Summer royal grapes

The variety of table grapes known as summer royal grapes

UNSPSC 50303489 Summer royal grapes is a Commodity code that represents fresh produce supply to state and local institutions—prisons, mental health facilities, schools, senior centers, and regional parks—rather than general-market retail distribution. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for fresh fruit and vegetable procurement, with orders ranging from produce-specific bids (bananas, apples, mixed vegetables) to broader grocery and food-service contracts that incorporate fresh produce as a line item. The work spans single-source supply agreements, multi-vendor procurement with preferred distributors, and specialized delivery for child nutrition programs (Child and Adult Care Food Program), school meal operations, and correctional and mental health facility food services. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county boards of education, independent school districts, city departments of human services and parks and recreation, regional health care coalitions, and special-purpose nutrition programs. Contract structures commonly require compliance with Buy American provisions (domestic sourcing mandates), USDA nutrition standards, HACCP documentation, and food safety certifications; many include geographic sourcing preferences (local farm sourcing within specified mileage radii) and set-asides favoring small business, minority-owned, and woman-owned vendors.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and the upper Midwest, with significant procurement from school districts in particular. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for multiple food warehouses (Snyder and Wynne facilities, responses due October 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners' food services contract for North Collier Regional Park (Invitation to Negotiate, March 2025); the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh produce procurement for Joliet Treatment Center (small business set-aside, September 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's bids for petite bananas ($78,000 annual value, July 2026) and Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program snacks with local sourcing requirements (July 2026); and multiple Georgia school district procurements, including Hancock County (200+ fresh produce line items, June 2026), Dougherty County (40 produce items, June 2026), and Bartow County (local fresh fruit and vegetable sourcing, June 2026). School district procurement dominates the recent opportunities block, often tied to federal child nutrition program funding and state education funding cycles.
