UNSPSC 50313506: Organic sultana grapes

The variety of organic raisin grapes known as organic sultana grapes

UNSPSC 50313506 Organic sultana grapes is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity focused specifically on sultanas or grapes. Instead, the code appears in a broader institutional produce-buying context where school districts and public agencies source fresh fruits and vegetables for nutrition programs. The concrete work being solicited under this code family includes weekly or recurring supply of fresh produce items—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits—delivered to school cafeterias, central warehouses, and nutrition service facilities. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with numerous county boards of education and independent school districts posting solicitations for annual produce contracts supporting National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and federally funded USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. These jurisdictions solicit produce through Requests for Proposal (RFP), Invitations for Bid (IFB), and Request for Bids (RFB) notices, typically with annual contract terms and renewal options spanning one to four additional years.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Texas, with notable solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bartow County School System in Georgia, Bulloch County School District in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Glynn County Board of Education in Georgia, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, Austin Independent School District in Texas, and Douglas County School System in Georgia operating through the GEC Buying Cooperative. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas with bids due July 29, 2026, at $78,000 estimated annual value; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce with estimated annual budget of $600,000; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million combined annual spending across Areas One and Two. Evaluation criteria across these solicitations consistently emphasize cost competitiveness, vendor qualifications and experience, product quality and freshness standards, compliance with Buy American and domestic sourcing preferences, HACCP certification and food safety documentation, and timely weekly delivery to multiple school locations. Pricing is typically structured as firm fixed unit costs or line-item bids with no separate fuel charges, and contracts include prospective price redetermination tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices.
