UNSPSC 50313607: Organic carnelian grapes

The variety of organic wine grapes known as organic carnelian grapes

UNSPSC 50313607 Organic carnelian grapes, a Commodity code, does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The code nominally covers a specific fresh fruit variety; however, the eighteen recent opportunities posted between February and July 2026 solicit institutional food service procurement—fresh produce broadly (apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, citrus, stone fruits, melons, and prepared produce items), eggs, and beverages for school nutrition programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program fulfillment, and farm-to-school initiatives. None of the opportunities name carnelian grapes, organic or otherwise, as a line item or specification. The solicitations reflect commodity-class sourcing by school districts and school boards across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, emphasizing cost competitiveness, volume fill rates, weekly delivery reliability, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, and domestic sourcing preferences—not specialty or organic varietals by UNSPSC designation.

The issuing bodies are exclusively K–12 school districts and county school boards operating institutional food service for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, along with USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program participation. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and Douglas County school systems), with additional procurement by Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, and Austin Independent School District in Texas. Bidding is conducted through RFP, RFQ, and IFB notice types, with response dates clustered between late March and late July 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly; response due July 29, 2026, $78,000 estimated annual value) and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (approximately $4.4 million for Area One; proposals due March 4, 2026). The code shows little relevant procurement activity under its nominal definition and appears to have been misassigned to institutional food service sourcing at the commodity class level.
