UNSPSC 50303635: Muscat orange grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as muscat orange grapes

UNSPSC 50303635 Muscat orange grapes (Commodity) does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific fresh fruit varietal—appears in no identified contract opportunities in the recent block. Instead, state and local food service buyers are soliciting fresh produce broadly under school nutrition and child care programs, with specifications that name multiple fruit and vegetable categories rather than individual grape varieties.

Recent opportunities center on comprehensive fresh-produce contracts serving school districts, child care programs, and senior nutrition initiatives across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. School nutrition programs (including mandated USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program services) dominate the issuing-body mix, with representative procurements from Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), Madison Metropolitan School District, Glynn County Board of Education, Bulloch County Schools, Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), and Austin Independent School District. Smaller numbers of child care food-program RFPs originate from city and county human services departments and Head Start agencies. These buyers specify apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and dozens of other items in bulk cases—rarely a single cultivar. Evaluation typically weights cost heavily (40–50 percent), delivery reliability and quality 15–25 percent, and vendor qualifications and experience 15–20 percent. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options spanning one to five additional years.
