UNSPSC 50313451: Organic lady finger grapes

The variety of organic table grapes known as organic lady finger grapes

UNSPSC 50313451 Organic lady finger grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow product category within institutional food procurement, but state and local governments are not actively buying organic lady finger grapes under this code. Recent opportunities solicited by school districts and education agencies across Georgia, Florida, and Texas show no demand for this specific variety. Instead, school nutrition programs are procuring broad categories of fresh produce — conventional bananas, apples, berries, melons, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared produce items — as line items within larger comprehensive produce bids and RFPs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being purchased suggests this Commodity code does not align with current state and local procurement activity in school food service.

School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with representatives including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia acting as lead for a 30-district cooperative). Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida. Representative recent procurements include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, $78,000 annual value), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026, July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term), Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026), and Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (due March 4, 2026, $5.5 million estimated annual spending). These solicitations consistently emphasize conventional produce varieties, Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety certification, and multi-vendor award structures rather than organic or specialty fruit procurement.
