The variety of table grapes known as thompson seedless grapes

UNSPSC 50303492 Thompson seedless grapes is a Commodity code naming a single produce line item. State and local governments procure Thompson seedless grapes as part of broader fresh produce contracts supporting institutional foodservice — school districts, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior care programs, Head Start child care agencies, and county parks operations. The work is straightforward supply and delivery of fresh fruit meeting USDA quality standards, typically on recurring schedules (weekly, bi-weekly, or as-needed basis) with compliance to food safety regulations, temperature control, and damage-replacement guarantees. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state department facilities (corrections, mental health, human services), with occasional municipal parks and recreation departments and nonprofit care organizations purchasing under the code. Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with renewal options, include F.O.B. Destination pricing with no fuel surcharges, and require vendors to maintain commercial liability insurance and HACCP documentation.

The code shows consistent regional activity across Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, and Connecticut, with school districts as the largest buyer category.
