UNSPSC 50303629: Meunier grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as meunier grapes

UNSPSC 50303629 Meunier grapes, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce supply contracts that state and local governments use to stock institutional food service operations — primarily correctional facilities, schools, mental health centers, senior programs, and child care providers. The code's scope encompasses wholesale fresh fruit and vegetable procurement under two primary models: large-volume district-level buys (school nutrition programs, child care networks) and facility-specific supply agreements (prison food warehouses, mental health centers, senior centers). Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school districts, boards of education, Head Start programs, county senior services divisions, and special-purpose health and nutrition agencies. The market mixes repeat institutional buyers (school districts and state correctional systems appear frequently) with one-time or project-specific procurements from local health coalitions and senior service providers. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with particularly dense recent solicitation activity in Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County school systems), Texas (TDCJ multiple facilities, City of Edinburg), and Illinois (TDCJ, Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), alongside scattered procurement from Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Florida.

Representative recent opportunities reflect the institutional focus and geographic clustering. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued three separate RFQs for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to food warehouses serving incarcerated populations — IW267376 (Palestine facility, due October 19, 2026), IW267411 (Wynne facility in Huntsville, due October 14, 2026), and IW267420 (Snyder facility, due October 14, 2026) — all accepting electronic submissions through the TDCJ Bonfire portal. The Illinois Department of Corrections released a small-purchase RFQ for bi-weekly produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (solicitation 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026), specifying line-item produce types (onions, peppers, cucumbers, cabbage, lettuce, apples, oranges, tomatoes, potatoes, bananas, garlic, celery, green onions, cilantro) under a small business set-aside with prevailing wage compliance required in Cook County. School districts dominate the recent pipeline: Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued separate RFBs for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026; estimated contract value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026; 5,900 weekly servings, sourcing within 400 miles and within Wisconsin, contingent on Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program federal grant approval). Bartow County Schools (Georgia) sought local fresh produce vendors (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026, with award anticipated July 20, 2026) requiring 400-mile local sourcing; Dougherty County Schools (Georgia) requested sealed bids on 40 fresh produce line items for 24 school nutrition sites (bid due June 16, 2026). Child care and senior service procurements include Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of produce under CACFP, estimated value $969,460.94) and the City of San Antonio Department of Human Services operating produce markets at 12 comprehensive and 3 part-time senior center sites (RFP 26-070, due May 27, 2026).
