UNSPSC 50303625: Malvasia bianca grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as malvasia bianca grapes

UNSPSC 50303625 Malvasia bianca grapes (Commodity) does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to the code overwhelmingly procure fresh produce broadly — fruit and vegetables in multiple varieties — rather than malvasia bianca grapes specifically. The code shows substantial activity across school districts, corrections departments, mental health facilities, senior services, and child care programs, all seeking fresh produce delivery on fixed schedules to support food service operations. Issuing bodies include Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple food warehouses), Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, and dozens of school districts across Georgia, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Texas. The commodity code appears to misclassify or over-narrow the actual procurement category; vendors pursuing work under this taxonomy should treat it as fresh produce supply generally rather than a single grape varietal.

School districts dominate recent activity, with at least fifteen school-district-level solicitations posted since April 2026, primarily in Georgia (Bryan County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Early County, Bartow County school systems) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District). Institutional buyers — corrections, mental health, senior services, and child care providers — represent the second-largest group. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued at least three separate fresh-produce RFQs since late September 2026 (Palestine facility, Snyder Food Warehouse, Wynne Food Warehouse in Huntsville, responses due through mid-October 2026). Illinois Department of Corrections at Joliet Treatment Center sought bi-weekly produce delivery under small-business set-aside (due September 3, 2026), while Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center pursued weekly produce under small-purchase rules (due August 14, 2026). Non-profit and municipal buyers include Head Start of Greater Dallas (approximately 32,409 cases annually, pre-bid April 16, 2026), City of Edinburg Child and Adult Care Food Program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026), and City of San Antonio senior produce markets (RFP 26-070, due May 27, 2026). Representative solicitations span RFP, RFB, ITN, and IFB formats. Contract values when specified range from $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan petite bananas, September 2026–June 2027) to $969,460.94 (Head Start of Greater Dallas, multi-year with renewals). Most school-district procurements require Buy American compliance, HACCP documentation, liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million minimum), prevailing-wage certification where applicable, and delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses on fixed weekly or bi-weekly schedules.
