UNSPSC 50303645: Royalty grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as royalty grapes

UNSPSC 50303645 Royalty grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit for royalty grapes or similar specialty cultivar fruits through this code; recent activity shows schools, districts, and local food service programs are procuring produce broadly under fresh fruit and vegetable contracts that span apples, bananas, berries, citrus, stone fruits, and a wide range of vegetables, with occasional specialty items like Fuji apples or Vidalia onions specified by variety but no solicitations explicitly targeting royalty grapes. The code sees activity across school nutrition programs serving National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) requirements, Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal services, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) initiatives, and occasional senior services. Issuing bodies include school districts (from single-district RFPs to cooperative multi-district procurements), county boards of education, city school systems, municipal food service departments, Head Start and child care organizations, and cooperative buying consortia spanning dozens of districts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with multiple school districts (Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County, Hancock County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) and the GEC Buying Cooperative (serving 30 Georgia districts across two regions) all soliciting produce contracts between March and June 2026. Texas districts including Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, and Hillsborough County (Florida) have issued RFPs for fresh produce and specialty items. Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools) and Oregon (Central Point School District) have active solicitations. Representative recent procurements include the City of Edinburg Parks & Recreation CACFP meal program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026), seeking beverages, proteins, fruits, and vegetables for 400 children daily; Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas procurement (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) specifying 70–90 cases weekly of single-unit 150-count packs at $78,000 annual estimated value; the GEC Buying Cooperative multi-district produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covering approximately 72 produce line items across two regions totaling roughly $5.5 million annually; and Bulloch County's Farm to School local produce IFP (due May 4, 2026) seeking fruits and vegetables grown within 200 miles. Most procurements are IFBs or RFPs with response dates concentrated in March through August 2026, emphasizing July 1 contract commencement for the school year, strict USDA Buy American requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP plan compliance, and delivery to multiple school or facility locations with weekly or twice-weekly frequency.
