UNSPSC 50303490: Sunset grapes

The variety of table grapes known as sunset grapes

UNSPSC 50303490 Sunset grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce—fresh fruits and vegetables—under this code for institutional food service operations serving incarcerated individuals, students, senior citizens, and community members in child-care and nutrition-assistance programs. Recent solicitations show that institutions buy produce in bulk case quantities with specifications for ripeness, size, packaging, temperature control, and traceability; deliveries are typically bi-weekly or weekly with strict fill rates and quality guarantees, often requiring HACCP plans and vendor recall procedures. The issuing bodies are prison systems, school districts, county boards of education, city departments of human services, senior service divisions, health and mental health facilities, and child and adult care food programs. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Madison Metropolitan School District, and various county school boards appear repeatedly as high-volume buyers.

The code shows significant recent activity across Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetables procurement for the Palestine facility (IW267376, RFP, due October 19, 2026), the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' food services contract for North Collier Regional Park (ITN, due March 6, 2025, with a $15.00 per square foot minimum rental fee and three-year term with two one-year renewals), the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, RFQ with small business set-aside, due September 3, 2026), and the Madison Metropolitan School District's bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, estimated annual value $78,000, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, with Wisconsin-sourced produce and 5% diversity preference, due July 29, 2026). School nutrition programs frequently impose Buy American requirements (51% domestic content), cooperative purchasing eligibility, and local-vendor preferences worth 5–10 evaluation points; set-asides for small business, minority-owned, and woman-owned enterprises are common in state correctional and health facility procurements. Payment terms typically run Net 30–45 days; insurance minimums range from $500,000 to $2 million general liability depending on contract value.
