UNSPSC 50303499: Torontel grapes

Variety of wine grapes known as torontel grapes.

UNSPSC 50303499 Torontel grapes is a Commodity code identifying a single fresh fruit product. State and local governments procure fresh produce through school nutrition programs, child care food programs, and senior services; the recent opportunities in this code show that institutional food service buyers source fresh fruits as components of comprehensive produce contracts rather than as standalone line items. School districts, city education departments, child care agencies, and senior services divisions are the primary issuing bodies, and they typically bundle grapes with dozens of other produce varieties in multi-vendor, annual-term contracts supporting breakfast, lunch, and snack programs. The code shows substantial activity but limited recent opportunities explicitly named as torontel grapes—instead, grapes appear as one line item among 40–200+ produce SKUs in broader fresh-produce solicitations.

Recent opportunities demonstrate this bundled-procurement pattern across multiple states. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) requested 2,550 units each of red and green seedless grapes as part of a 72-line-item produce bid (IFB, due April 23, 2026). McAllen Independent School District (Texas) included grapes in its fresh-produce RFP for 31 campuses (due March 6, 2026, extended by addendum). Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) solicited specialty produce for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (RFP 26RFP034, proposals due March 11, 2026). The GEC Buying Cooperative (serving 30 Georgia school districts) listed grapes among approximately 72 produce line items in its statewide fresh-produce RFP (due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million annually across two geographic areas). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. Procurement is year-round but peaks in spring for contracts beginning July 1, driven by state and federal school-year budgeting cycles. Most opportunities use ITB, IFB, or RFP notice types with 30–60 day response windows. Set-asides for small, minority, or women-owned businesses appear inconsistently; Buy American provisions mandating domestic sourcing are standard in federal child nutrition programs. Grapes rarely command premium pricing and typically compete on cost within larger produce vendor relationships; pursuit viability depends on capability to supply as part of a full-line produce distribution operation.
