UNSPSC 50303504: Fiesta grapes

The variety of raisin grapes known as fiesta grapes

UNSPSC 50303504 Fiesta grapes is a Commodity code covering fresh fruit procurement. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily sourcing fresh produce for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, child care programs, and parks and recreation concessions. The scope reflects what recent solicitations are actually acquiring: fresh fruits and vegetables, including but not limited to grapes, bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, and root vegetables, delivered in bulk case quantities to centralized warehouses or individual facility sites on weekly or bi-weekly schedules. Buying bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bryan County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Early County in Georgia and Mississippi), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county government (Collier County), cities (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), and non-profit operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts dominate recent activity, accounting for roughly half the identifiable recent opportunities.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Mississippi, with secondary activity in Florida, Wisconsin, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for multiple food warehouses under IFB IW267376 and IW267411 (responses due October 19 and October 14, 2026 respectively), the Madison Metropolitan School District requesting bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under local-sourcing and diversity-preference criteria (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center (small-business set-aside, due September 3, 2026), Bryan County Schools conducting a sealed bid for fresh produce for school year 2026-2027 (due May 27, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, melons, and specialty produce for delivery to three school locations (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). Pricing is typically firm fixed with no fuel surcharges permitted; delivery windows are narrow (early morning for school districts, specified hours for correctional and health facilities); and Buy American and domestic-sourcing preferences are standard across school and state procurement.
