UNSPSC 50303609: Centurian grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as centurian grapes

UNSPSC 50303609 Centurian grapes, a Commodity code, sees modest recent activity in state and local food service procurement, concentrated in school nutrition programs and child care food services. The recent opportunities show that state and local buyers are sourcing fresh produce—including grapes and related specialty fruits—for National School Lunch Program compliance, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery, and Child and Adult Care Food Program meal support. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity also present in specialized procurement cooperatives, county boards of education, and child care organizations. The code's narrow fruit-specific scope reflects a small slice of the larger fresh produce commodity category.

Representative recent solicitations span multiple states. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, with weekly usage of 70–90 cases and 5,900 servings weekly respectively. The City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026017 (the CACFP Meal Program) due August 4, 2026, requesting food items including fruits for 400 children ages 1–18 daily with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce due June 26, 2026, specifying over 200 line items including apples, berries, and specialty fruits. Georgia school districts (Bulloch County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Glynn County, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) issued multiple fresh produce IFBs and RFPs between March and May 2026 with response dates in April through July 2026. The GEC Buying Cooperative, representing 30 Georgia school districts, solicited fresh produce and eggs on February 4, 2026, for a July 1, 2026, start with combined estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (at least twelve school districts and the state cooperative), Texas (Edinburg, McAllen, Austin), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and scattered activity in Connecticut, Florida, Oregon, and Mississippi. Pricing structures favor cost-plus-fixed-fee models, with domestic sourcing preferences and Buy American compliance required across most procurements. The code's practical scope aligns with institutional fresh fruit and specialty produce supply—not Centurian grapes specifically, but the broader fresh-fruit category these school systems and cooperatives are actively buying.
