UNSPSC 50303504: Fiesta grapes

The variety of raisin grapes known as fiesta grapes

UNSPSC 50303504 Fiesta grapes, a Commodity code, describes fresh grape procurement by state and local governments for child nutrition programs, senior services, and correctional facilities. State and local solicitations under this code focus on fresh fruit supply for school breakfast and lunch programs, child and adult care food programs, and institutional food service, with emphasis on compliance with CACFP and USDA nutrition standards, food safety certification, and reliable weekly or bi-weekly delivery to multiple sites. Issuing bodies span school districts of varying sizes (from small county systems to large urban districts like Austin ISD and Meriden Public Schools), child care agencies including Head Start and Boys & Girls Clubs, county correctional facilities, and municipal senior services divisions. The recent procurement activity shows school nutrition programs as the dominant buyer class, with additional volume from child care food programs and minimal activity from corrections and senior services.

Recent solicitations cluster heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. The City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026017 in July 2026 for CACFP meal program food and nonfood items with an August 4, 2026 response date, requiring five supply categories including fresh fruits for approximately 400 children daily under a local-vendor preference; Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted two separate RFQs in July 2026—one for petite bananas (IFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) with estimated annual value of $78,000 and one for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (IFB 4163, due July 29, 2026) sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin with 5% diverse-owned business preference; and the GEC Buying Cooperative, a consortium of 30 Georgia school districts, solicited fresh produce and eggs (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas. Other recent activity includes Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) seeking specialty fruit vendors for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (RFP 26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026 with $600,000 estimated annual budget) and Bartow County School System (Georgia) requesting local fresh produce within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Activity is current and ongoing, with July 2026 postings and June 2027 contract starts indicating robust procurement velocity in the school nutrition sector.
