UNSPSC 50303494: Waltman cross grapes

The variety of table grapes known as waltman cross grapes

UNSPSC 50303494 Waltman cross grapes, a Commodity code, describes fresh grape supply and delivery into institutional food-service settings — prison systems, schools, health facilities, and senior programs. State and local procurement offices solicit under this code primarily to stock detention and correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, child care food services, and health-care and senior meal operations. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and criminal justice, county and city school districts, county health systems, municipalities operating senior services, and independent school districts. A substantial share of recent activity clusters within Texas and Georgia, driven by recurring food-service contracts at correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and health-care institutions serving large resident or student populations.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) soliciting fresh produce, including grapes as part of mixed fruit-and-vegetable requirements, across multiple warehouse and facility locations. TDCJ issued two separate IFBs in late September 2026 for produce delivery to Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (responses due October 14, 2026, Solicitation IW267420 and IW267411), and a third on October 12 for fresh fruit and vegetables destined to Palestine, Texas (response due October 19, 2026, IW267376). Beyond corrections, school districts in Georgia — including Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bartow County System, Hancock County Board of Education, and Early County Board of Education — solicited fresh produce including grapes through sealed-bid or RFP processes during May and June 2026, with responses typically due in late June. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin issued complementary bids for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (responses due July 29, 2026, RFBs 4162 and 4163). Collier County, Florida issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (response due March 6, 2025), and the Illinois Department of Corrections solicited fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center with a small-business set-aside (response due September 3, 2026). The Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center sought fresh fruits and vegetables under small-purchase procurement (response due August 14, 2026). Activity reflects steady institutional demand, with school nutrition and corrections driving volume across the South and Midwest.
