UNSPSC 50303633: Muscat hamburg grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as muscat hamburg grapes

UNSPSC 50303633 Muscat hamburg grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow produce category that state and local governments purchase primarily as part of broader fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for institutional food service — correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, and senior services. Recent solicitations show the code sitting within larger produce procurement frameworks rather than as a standalone item; opportunities naming it occur alongside bids for apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables, and leafy greens. The buying pattern reflects institutional meal programs operating under USDA or state nutrition standards, with emphasis on bulk weekly or bi-weekly delivery, HACCP compliance, and cost management within food-service budgets.

State and local issuing bodies active in this space span Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple food warehouse locations), Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County, DeSoto County, and Bartow County in Georgia), and senior services (City of San Antonio). Texas and Georgia dominate recent activity, driven by large school district networks and state agency food operations. Representative recent solicitations include Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetables for food warehouses in Palestine, Snyder, and Wynne (RFP/RFQ with October 2026 deadlines), Illinois Department of Mental Health soliciting fresh produce for Madden Mental Health Center (August 2026 small purchase), and Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for school nutrition (bids due July 2026, estimated contract value $78,000 annually for bananas alone). Most opportunities impose Buy American requirements, prevailing wage compliance where applicable, HACCP documentation, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1 million, and delivery frequency constraints (bi-weekly to daily). Geographic sourcing preferences appear in school district bids, with Wisconsin and Georgia districts explicitly requiring produce sourced within 400 miles. Pricing remains firm for contract terms, typically July through June for school year contracts, with escalation clauses tied to USDA or Department of Labor price indices.
