UNSPSC 50303496: Zante current grapes

The variety of table grapes known as zante current grapes

UNSPSC 50303496 Zante current grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh fruit procurement by state and local governments, though recent solicitations show the code applies more broadly to fresh produce supply generally—fresh fruits, vegetables, and related food items for institutional meal service. State and local governments use this code to buy fresh produce for correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, senior centers, child care programs, and other institutional food service operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county and municipal school districts, county boards of education, senior services divisions, and specialized nutrition programs such as Head Start. The geographic spread of recent solicitations spans Texas (Department of Criminal Justice facilities in Palestine, Snyder, and Huntsville), Illinois (Department of Corrections at Joliet, Department of Mental Health at Hines), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Georgia (multiple county school systems including Bartow, Dougherty, Bryan, Early, and Hancock counties), Florida (Collier County parks), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and Mississippi (DeSoto County School District).
