UNSPSC 50313413: Organic black globe grapes

The variety of organic table grapes known as organic black globe grapes

UNSPSC 50313413 Organic black globe grapes (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and recent solicitation activity. The code's name specifies a single specialty produce item, yet the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code solicit broader fresh produce categories—petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, comprehensive school nutrition program supplies spanning apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and specialty items—rather than organic black globe grapes specifically. School districts and their cooperative purchasing vehicles dominate the issuing bodies, including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, and Douglas County School System (procuring for a 30-district cooperative), alongside independent school districts in Texas and regional school nutrition programs. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas.

Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (posted July 8, 2026; response due July 29, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin (posted July 8, 2026; response due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits (posted June 10, 2026; bids due June 26, 2026) illustrates the broader commodity scope. Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covers 72 produce line items and eggs for 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (posted February 4, 2026; proposals due March 4, 2026). Evaluation criteria across these RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs consistently weight cost between 30–50%, vendor qualifications and experience between 10–25%, product quality between 10–30%, and delivery/service compliance between 10–20%. All awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with many districts reserving the right to award multiple vendors on a line-item basis. Insurance requirements typically include general liability of $500,000 to $2 million, workers' compensation at statutory rates, and HACCP plan submission prior to award.
