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 nominally describes specialty grape varieties for direct consumption, but the recent state and local opportunities do not support material activity in this specific product line. The code shows no recent solicitations for summer royal grapes, royal grapes, or any branded grape variety purchases. Instead, the procurement records reflect broad fresh-produce and food-service contracts that reference grapes only as undifferentiated line items within comprehensive fresh-fruit and fresh-vegetable programs serving school districts, child nutrition programs, and senior services — competitive opportunities focused on mixed-produce supply rather than sourcing a discrete specialty variety.

School districts and food-service authorities across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California are actively procuring fresh produce through RFPs, RFBs, and ITBs for school nutrition, child care, and correctional food programs, with recent activity concentrated among large urban and suburban school districts (Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Glynn County, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Hillsborough County, Meriden Public Schools) and cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). Representative recent opportunities include Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for 72 fresh produce items (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), Henry County Schools' competitive bid for food items and products across 52 locations (IFB, due May 5, 2026), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas in Georgia (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated annual value $5.5 million). These solicitations price produce competitively on a per-unit or cost-plus-fixed-fee basis and require compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed schedules. Grapes appear as one of dozens of produce line items in these contracts, not as a standalone specialty procurement; vendors compete on overall cost and quality across apple varieties, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, and other staples rather than on premium or branded grape sourcing. The absence of specific solicitations for summer royal grapes or other named grape cultivars suggests this code does not reflect active state and local procurement practice for this produce category at present.
