UNSPSC 50303495: White seedless grapes

The variety of table grapes known as white seedless grapes

UNSPSC 50303495 White seedless grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure white seedless grapes primarily through school nutrition programs and child care food services, where they appear as line items in larger fresh produce and grocery bids supporting meal programs for K–12 students and young children. The code surfaces most frequently in bundle procurements covering 40–70+ produce items (apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and comparable staples), rather than as a standalone item request, reflecting how institutional food services consolidate fruit purchases. Recent opportunities show school districts, county school systems, and child care operators issuing sealed bids or RFPs for annual produce supply contracts, with awards typically made on a lowest-responsive-bidder or multiple-vendor basis using fixed pricing or cost-plus-fixed-fee models tied to USDA market indices. Issuing bodies span Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham), Texas school districts (Austin, McAllen), Connecticut and Florida school systems, and child care programs (Hillsborough County FFVP, Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of Edinburg CACFP).

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with secondary procurement volume in Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and other states. Representative recent solicitations include Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02, sealed bids due April 14, 2026, for 60 produce line items including seedless grapes at 2,550 units estimated annually), Dougherty County Board of Education (sealed bids due June 16, 2026, for 40 produce items across 24 nutrition sites), and the GEC Buying Cooperative cooperative purchasing vehicle (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia regions with combined estimated annual spending of $5.5 million). Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa issued an RFP (26039RFPDST, proposals due March 11, 2026) for specialty fruits and vegetables to support the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at 18 elementary schools, while Bartow County School System solicited local fresh produce (RFP 10-2026-019, sealed bids due June 26, 2026) with a 400-mile sourcing radius. Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, GAP certification, and traceability documentation are standard across all recent opportunities; contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with optional renewal periods of two to four years. Pricing models emphasize cost plus fixed fee or firm fixed-unit pricing, with no fuel surcharges permitted, and delivery requirements range from weekly to twice-weekly to designated school sites or warehouses, often with tight morning windows (5:00–7:00 a.m. or 6:00–2:30 p.m.). Vendors face minimum liability insurance requirements of $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence and must maintain 95–98% monthly fill rates with 24-hour replacement protocols for rejected or damaged goods.
