UNSPSC 50303506: Sultana grapes

The variety of raisin grapes known as sultana grapes

UNSPSC 50303506 Sultana grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of fresh fruits—specifically sultana grapes and related produce—for institutional food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring fresh produce for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior care centers, child care food service providers, and regional parks. The work solicited ranges from routine fresh-fruit supply contracts for prison food warehouses to comprehensive produce procurement supporting large-scale meal programs serving children and incarcerated populations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county school boards, city parks departments, regional health coalitions, and specialized child nutrition programs. School districts appear as the dominant buyer class, followed by state corrections agencies; several solicitations also reflect food service for senior centers and Head Start child care operations.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh-produce solicitations for food warehouses serving correctional facilities—including RFQs for the Snyder and Wynne facilities (due October 14, 2026, and October 19, 2026 respectively).
