UNSPSC 50313421: Organic chasselas/golden chasselas grapes

The variety of organic table grapes known as organic chasselas/golden chasselas grapes

UNSPSC 50313421 Organic chasselas/golden chasselas grapes is a Commodity code covering fresh table grape procurement by state and local food-service entities. The recent solicitations under this code reveal that state and local governments buy fresh produce — including grapes — primarily through school district food-and-nutrition departments, county parks and recreation concession operations, healthcare facility food services, and specialty procurement programs such as USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable initiatives. School districts dominate the activity, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, and Early County Board of Education all posting fresh-produce bids in the past four months. The scope spans full-scale produce supply contracts covering multiple fruit and vegetable line items, smaller specialized fruit procurements (such as petite bananas at 70–90 cases weekly), and ready-to-eat fresh-fruit-and-vegetable snacks for elementary-level nutrition programs. Evaluation criteria emphasize cost (typically 40%), vendor qualifications and experience (15–20%), compliance with food safety and HACCP standards, local or geographic sourcing preferences (15% in some jurisdictions), and diverse-owned business status (5% in most school district awards). Many solicitations impose local-sourcing mandates (produce within 400 miles, local-vendor preference points, or Wisconsin-only sourcing), Buy American or domestic-content provisions, and strict delivery windows (5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., Monday–Friday in many cases).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and the State of Georgia central procurement) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with secondary activity in Florida (Collier County parks concessions) and healthcare procurement (Marion Health Care Coalition). Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, 70–90 cases weekly at $78,000 annual value), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025). School districts generally require HACCP plans, E-Verify enrollment verification, minimum liability insurance ($500,000–$1,000,000), and advance submission of food-safety documentation as a condition of award.
