UNSPSC 50303630: Mission grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as mission grapes

UNSPSC 50303630 Mission grapes is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent purchasing aligned with the nominal product category. The source contains twenty-six recent state and local solicitations spanning school districts, county boards of education, cities, and special-purpose agencies; however, only one opportunity—the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce contract (Bid 26-34, RFP posted March 22, 2026, bids due April 23, 2026)—explicitly names grapes as a line item among a broader array of fresh produce. The Savannah-Chatham solicitation lists grapes (both red and green seedless varieties) as components of a 72-item produce procurement serving 60 school sites, with evaluation weighted toward cost (40%), qualifications and experience (15%), geographic preference and traceability (15%), diverse-owned business status (5%), and references (15%). The remaining twenty-five opportunities solicited fresh produce, groceries, or food service supplies under different scope parameters—including whole produce distributions (Hancock County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Liberty County Schools, Glynn County Schools in Georgia; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; McAllen Independent School District in Texas), local produce sourcing (Bartow County, Bulloch County in Georgia; Central Point School District in Oregon), and comprehensive food supply (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut; Henry County Schools in Georgia; Austin Independent School District in Texas)—but do not isolate mission grapes as a distinct procurement focus. Issuing bodies are predominantly Georgia school districts (seventeen of the state-tagged opportunities), with secondary activity in Texas school districts, Florida schools, Connecticut schools, Oregon schools, and one county detention facility (Santa Clara County, California). The code shows no apparent market concentration among issuing bodies; individual school nutrition programs and districts conduct annual or multi-year standalone procurements rather than participating in bundled or cooperative awards specific to mission grapes.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia school nutrition procurement during the March through May 2026 window, with secondary concentrations in Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut (Bridgeport, Meriden), and Oregon (Central Point School District). The source does not isolate mission grapes as a standalone commodity with dedicated solicitations; instead, grapes appear as one line item within multi-hundred-line-item fresh produce and grocery contracts. No representative opportunities focus exclusively on mission grapes procurement, and the code's recent activity offers limited pursue signals for vendors specializing in that specific cultivar at the state and local level. Vendors pursuing this code should recognize that mission grapes compete within institutional produce distribution channels alongside dozens of other fruit and vegetable varieties, and that procurement volume and frequency depend on whether a school district or facility includes grapes in its core produce rotation or seasonal menu planning. The absence of dedicated mission grape solicitations suggests this code does not represent a distinct commodity focus for state and local buyers in the current marketplace.
