UNSPSC 50303648: Salvador grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as salvador grapes

UNSPSC 50303648 Salvador grapes is a Commodity code representing a single produce line item within the broader fresh fruit and vegetable procurement landscape for state and local institutional food service. The code sees activity predominantly through school district food service departments and child care nutrition programs that source fresh grapes as part of weekly produce distributions, though direct recent solicitations specifically naming Salvador grapes remain sparse. State and local governments procuring under this code typically embed grape sourcing within broader fresh produce contracts that span 40–72 line items covering multiple apple varieties, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, and stone fruits delivered on weekly or twice-weekly schedules to cafeterias, central warehouses, and distribution centers. Issuing bodies include school nutrition departments across independent and county school districts, child care food program administrators, and regional cooperative purchasing consortiums that aggregate demand across 12–40 member districts. Recent institutional fruit-and-vegetable procurements show grapes (including seedless red and green varieties) appearing as standard line items in RFPs and IFBs from school districts in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon, with specifications commonly requiring fresh-cut clamshell packs in addition to whole-fruit bulk cases. The code activity reflects the seasonality and commodity-pricing structure of institutional produce supply chains, where bidders submit unit pricing indexed to USDA terminal market reports and fixed delivery fees covering weekly supply to multiple school sites.

The GEC Buying Cooperative procurement (RFP SN 26-004, responses due March 4, 2026) illustrates the geographic and competitive scope: 30 Georgia school districts across two regions seeking approximately $5.5 million in annual fresh produce and eggs supply, with grapes specified among 72 line items and cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing tied to documented supplier costs and USDA Atlanta Terminal Wholesale Market Report caps. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa (RFP 26039RFPDST, proposals due March 11, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB BNB052266, bids due June 30, 2026) both solicited fresh produce including grapes for elementary cafeterias and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs serving 400–8,200 students. The code sees consistent activity across Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, City of Edinburg CACFP), Georgia (Bulloch County, Bartow County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County, multiple regional procurements), and Florida institutional buyers, with most contracts running July–June school years and featuring weekly delivery, HACCP compliance, Buy American domestic-sourcing requirements, and 98–99 percent fill-rate service level mandates.
