UNSPSC 50303646: Rubired grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as rubired grapes

UNSPSC 50303646 Rubired grapes, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh produce supply to state and local institutional food services, though recent opportunities show minimal activity specific to this grape variety and instead reflect broad fresh produce procurement across the full portfolio. State and local governments are buying fresh fruits and vegetables for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior centers, mental health treatment centers, parks concession operations, and child care programs under this code family. Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominates the recent activity, with two separate RFQ solicitations (IW267411 and IW267420) for fresh fruit and vegetable delivery to prison food warehouses in Snyder and Huntsville. Issuing bodies span state correctional agencies, state departments of mental health, county and city school districts, county parks departments, and special-purpose healthcare coalitions. The code sees activity from departments of corrections (TDCJ, Illinois Department of Corrections), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bryan County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bartow County in Georgia; DeSoto County in Mississippi; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state mental health facilities (Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center), county governments (Collier County Parks and Recreation), city departments (San Antonio Senior Services), and specialized institutions like Head Start programs and healthcare coalitions.

Georgia and Texas dominate recent solicitation volume, with Texas Department of Criminal Justice posting multiple produce RFQs in September and October 2026, while Georgia school districts (Bryan County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, Early County) issued multiple fresh produce bids from May through June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IW267376 for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to the Palestine facility (RFQ, due October 19, 2026); the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks serving approximately 5,900 weekly servings under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (bids due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000 for petite bananas alone); Collier County Board of County Commissioners ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concessions (proposals due March 6, 2025, three-year term with two one-year renewals); and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for grocery products including frozen foods, produce, and meat serving child care programs (sealed bids due June 24, 2026, total estimated procurement value $969,460.94). Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content appear in school district procurements; local-vendor preferences (5–10 evaluation points) apply in Collier County, Edinburg, Texas, and multiple Georgia school districts. Contract terms typically run one school or fiscal year (July to June) with renewal options ranging from one to four additional years.
