UNSPSC 50313469: Organic princess grapes

The variety of organic table grapes known as organic princess grapes

UNSPSC 50313469 Organic princess grapes is a Commodity code that nominally addresses specialty fruit procurement, but the recent state and local opportunities indicate the code is being applied to broader fresh produce and food service contracting. The actual buying activity spans fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, including conventional bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared produce items rather than the organic specialty grapes the code name suggests. School districts and boards of education are the dominant issuing bodies, with recent solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (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), alongside cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. The scope of work centers on weekly or multi-weekly delivery of fresh produce in bulk case quantities to elementary, middle, and high school locations, with strict requirements for HACCP plans, traceability, product recall procedures, Buy American compliance, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards for school lunch and breakfast programs; many districts also participate in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program or Farm to School initiatives that emphasize local sourcing or specialty items.

Geographically, the code sees concentrated recent activity in Georgia, with additional opportunities in Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual value of $78,000 for weekly delivery of 150-count cases at specified ripeness stages; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, covering apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, and specialty items with delivery to three school locations for the 2026-27 school year; 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 regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026. Pricing structures vary widely—some districts use USDA market index pricing with vendor markups, while others request firm fixed pricing for annual terms with prospective price redetermination windows. Most procurements emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, organic or locally grown options where cost and quality are comparable, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a line-item basis, permitting multiple vendor awards.
