UNSPSC 50303643: Primitivo grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as primitivo grapes

UNSPSC 50303643 Primitivo grapes is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce supply contracts across state and local institutions, though recent activity under this code shows a broader scope of fresh fruits and vegetables beyond the single varietal named. State and local procurement offices are actively buying fresh produce through school nutrition programs, correctional and mental health facilities, senior services, and child care food programs. The work spans routine commodity supply—weekly or bi-weekly deliveries of mixed fresh fruits and vegetables meeting USDA standards and food-safety compliance—to specialized sourcing such as local-farm-only procurement with geographic origin documentation and traceability tracking. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school districts, county boards of education, city departments of human services, and specialized entities such as Head Start programs and healthcare coalitions. Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears as a repeat buyer, having posted multiple fresh produce solicitations for food warehouse distribution in recent weeks.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative opportunities include Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (RFP/ITB, responses due October 14–19, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points); Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (small-business set-aside, bi-weekly delivery, responses due September 3, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District bidding petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (responses due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual value of $78,000 for bananas and geographic-origin preference for the snacks); Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting sealed bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce (responses due June 26, 2026); and DeSoto County School District (Mississippi) requesting sealed bids on fresh produce distribution to 41 school sites with a 97% service-level mandate (responses due June 22, 2026). Buy American and domestic-sourcing preferences are common across school nutrition and correctional facilities; prevailing wage and insurance requirements (typically $500,000 to $1 million general liability) are standard across most jurisdictions.
