UNSPSC 50303500: Raisin grapes

The type of fruit known as raisin grapes

UNSPSC 50303500 Raisin grapes (Class) does not reflect the actual procurement activity in the recent state and local opportunities record. The code nominally describes a single commodity—raisins or raisin-type grapes—but the tagged opportunities span child care meal programs, school nutrition services, senior center produce distribution, and correctional food service, with scopes encompassing fresh produce procurement ranging far beyond raisins alone: fresh fruits, vegetables, dried fruits and nuts, eggs, beverages, and non-food supplies. The disconnect is systematic and material.

Recent solicitations tagged to 50303500 include fresh-produce IFBs and RFPs from school districts in Georgia (Glynn County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Bryan County, Liberty County), Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Edinburg), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Oregon (Central Point School District), Utah (Salt Lake City School District), and California (Santa Clara County), along with multi-district cooperative procurements through the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia districts. Issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school nutrition programs, supplemented by Head Start child care agencies, senior services departments, and county corrections facilities. School districts dominate the volume, driven by National School Lunch Program participation and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program requirements. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope of raisin grapes specifically; the body of work is fresh produce distribution for institutional feeding, not dried-grape procurement.
