UNSPSC 50303627: Mataro grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as mataro grapes

UNSPSC 50303627 Mataro grapes is a Commodity code for single produce items purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service — specifically, the code appears in solicitations for fresh-fruit procurement at corrections facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services, and child-care programs. The actual buying under this code targets bulk fresh produce supply contracts: state departments of correction in Texas and Illinois are actively soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for food warehouses and treatment facilities; school districts in Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and elsewhere are bidding multi-month supply agreements for fresh fruits delivered to central warehouses and individual school sites; and county and municipal authorities are procuring produce for parks concessions, senior centers, and child-nutrition programs. Issuing bodies span state corrections and mental-health agencies, county and city school boards, county commissioners' offices, city procurement departments, and special-purpose entities such as Head Start organizations and health coalitions. The work is straightforward commodity supply: vendors bid unit pricing on lineitem produce specifications, commit to delivery schedules (typically weekly or bi-weekly), maintain temperature and quality standards, and provide HACCP plans and insurance documentation as standard conditions.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Texas. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted three separate fresh-fruit-and-vegetable solicitations since late September 2026 (IW267376 for Palestine facility, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse, all with October response dates). Georgia school districts dominate the dataset: Hancock County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Bryan County Schools, and Early County Schools all issued fresh-produce bids between May and June 2026 with contract terms running through June 2027. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin solicited petite bananas (RFB 4162) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163) with a July 29, 2026 deadline and estimated annual value of $78,000 for bananas alone. Illinois procurements include the Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center (fresh produce, August 2026) and the Department of Corrections' Joliet Treatment Center (bi-weekly fresh produce with prevailing wage compliance, September 2026). Outside the regional concentration, the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut is bidding grocery items including fresh produce for the Board of Education (June 2026); the City of San Antonio is seeking a produce-market operator for senior centers (May 2026); Head Start of Greater Dallas is soliciting frozen foods and produce for child-care programs (June 2026, $969,460.94 estimated value); and Collier County, Florida issued an ITN for food concessions at a regional park (March 2025 due date, local-vendor preference of 10 evaluation points). The activity reflects sustained, predictable demand for standardized fresh-produce supply to institutional kitchens with seasonal variation and multi-year contract terms.
