UNSPSC 50313433: Organic empress grapes

The variety of organic table grapes known as organic empress grapes

UNSPSC 50313433 Organic empress grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities solicited under this code tag show little relevance to organic empress grapes specifically. The opportunities posted since early February 2026 are overwhelmingly for broad fresh produce procurement—apples, bananas, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, berries, root vegetables, and other commodity fruits and vegetables—rather than a single varietal or organic specialty item. School nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin represent the dominant buying bodies, with activity concentrated among school districts (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, Muscogee County School District, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District) and one state agency (Georgia Department of Education). The code does not appear to be used for organic empress grapes procurement in the current activity block; instead, it appears to serve as a general-purpose catchall for fresh produce buying across multiple jurisdictions and product lines.

Representative recent activity includes the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, $78,000 estimated annual contract value), the Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts (due March 4, 2026, approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending), and the Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated budget $600,000 annually). Most solicitations use RFB, RFP, IFB, or ITB notice types with response deadlines between February and July 2026. Procurement activity clusters heavily in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan). The code's use for broad commodity produce procurement rather than a specific organic varietal suggests that business development professionals targeting organic grape supply should monitor whether future solicitations redefine the code's scope or whether opportunities migrate to different UNSPSC classifications aligned more closely with specialty or organic agriculture products.
