UNSPSC 50313601: Organic alicante bouschet grapes

The variety of organic wine grapes known as organic alicante bouschet grapes

UNSPSC 50313601 Organic alicante bouschet grapes (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's specific fruit variety. The source records eight recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 across school districts, county parks, health-care coalitions, and state departments, but none explicitly solicit alicante bouschet grapes or organic variants of that specific cultivar. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad fresh-produce procurement by state and local food-service operations—school nutrition programs purchasing petite bananas, mixed fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and general fresh-produce items; a county parks department seeking concession-food vendors; a health-care coalition requesting general produce; and a state department soliciting food supplies. The code's nominal scope diverges from what is actually being bought under these postings, which center on commodity-volume fresh fruit and vegetable procurement across multiple varieties rather than premium or varietal-specific produce lines.

School districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and county government in Florida (Collier County Parks) dominate recent activity, with school nutrition programs publishing the majority of RFBs and IFBs between May and July 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, with local-sourcing and organic-pricing preferences) illustrate the scale and preference structures typical under this code—cost-weighted evaluation, local or regional sourcing preferences, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans), and E-Verify requirements are standard. Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (deadline June 22, 2026) similarly emphasizes 400-mile sourcing radius and seasonal variety. These opportunities do not specify organic alicante bouschet grapes, and organic or premium-cultivar fruit lines appear absent from current state and local school-nutrition and parks procurement, suggesting limited near-term pursuit opportunity under this specific commodity code.
