UNSPSC 50303626: Marsanne grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as marsanne grapes

UNSPSC 50303626 Marsanne grapes is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh produce for institutional food service, though recent solicitations under this code overwhelmingly feature general fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts rather than Marsanne grapes specifically. State and local governments purchase fresh produce through this code primarily to support school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health treatment centers, senior services, and child care operations. The buying bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county boards and municipalities (Collier County, DeSoto County Schools, Bartow County Schools), and specialized agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition, City of San Antonio Department of Human Services). Most contracts feature bid or proposal-based procurement under IFB, RFP, or ITN notice types, with weekly or bi-weekly delivery requirements and firm pricing structures spanning one to three years with optional renewal periods.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, Mississippi, and Connecticut, driven by substantial school-nutrition-program demand and state agency food-service operations. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking fresh fruit and vegetables for Palestine and Wynne food warehouses (IW267376 and IW267411, due October 19 and October 14, 2026, respectively); the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center under small-business set-aside (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026); the Madison Metropolitan School District bidding petite bananas at $78,000 annual contract value (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks from Wisconsin-sourced producers with 5% diverse-business preference (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026–27 school year (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and Bartow County School System seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Collier County's North Collier Regional Park Food Services ITN (ITN 258360) and Head Start of Greater Dallas' grocery procurement (IFB 26-GP, estimated value $969,460.94) exemplify non-school applications. Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, prevailing-wage certification in some states, and liability insurance ($500,000 to $1,000,000 minimums) appear across most contracts; local-vendor preferences and diverse-business status weights are common in school and municipal procurements.
