UNSPSC 50313416: Organic black seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50313416 Organic black seedless grapes is a Commodity code that addresses specialty produce procurement, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little direct activity for organic seedless grapes themselves. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad fresh produce and school nutrition programs where organic or specialty grape varieties may be one line item among dozens of commodity fruits and vegetables. State and local school districts dominate the issuing base—Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, and others across Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida—alongside one statewide procurement from Georgia. School nutrition programs, particularly those supporting the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, anchor the demand. The work being solicited under this code rarely isolates organic black seedless grapes as a standalone contract; instead, grapes appear within comprehensive fresh-produce line-item lists in RFPs, RFBs (requests for bid), and IFBs (invitations for bid) that combine fruits, vegetables, and sometimes eggs into annual institutional supply agreements.

Activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and includes scattered activity in Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (due July 29, 2026) for petite bananas and RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026) for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits (bid opening June 29, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026). Evaluation criteria across these solicitations emphasize price (typically 30–50% of scoring), product quality and freshness, vendor experience with school systems, compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP and food safety documentation, and on-time delivery performance. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear consistently in the recent opportunities. Cost-plus pricing models and annual fixed-price contracts with prospective redetermination are standard; vendors often must accept pricing benchmarked to USDA market reports and demonstrate the ability to serve multiple school sites with high fill rates and rapid substitution protocols.
