UNSPSC 50313608: Organic catarratto grapes

The variety of organic wine grapes known as organic catarratto grapes

UNSPSC 50313608 Organic catarratto grapes is a Commodity code. State and local school districts are the primary buyers under this code, but the recent opportunities do not reflect a meaningful procurement stream for organic catarratto grapes specifically. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code are instead seeking common fresh produce staples—bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, and eggs—for school nutrition programs serving the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope (a single Italian wine-grape variety) and the actual work being solicited (broad institutional fresh-produce supply) suggests either a cataloging error in the tagging system or that the code has been repurposed to capture general fresh-produce procurement activity at the state and local level. The gap makes it difficult to assess genuine demand for organic catarratto grapes under this code label.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with independent school districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, and Florida posting the bulk of recent activity. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162, petite bananas, due July 29, 2026; estimated annual value $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB, fresh produce for 2026-27 school year, due June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System cooperative procurement (RFP SN 26-004, fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across two Georgia regions, estimated $4.4 million for Area One). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin. All opportunities employ line-item competitive bidding structures (RFP, RFQ, or IFB) with annual contract terms, firm pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP and food safety certification requirements, and net 30 payment terms. Set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are absent from most solicitations, though some districts (Madison, McAllen, Austin) express encouragement for small, minority, and women-owned participation without formal carve-outs. The consistent emphasis on cost-plus-fee or fixed-markup pricing, weekly delivery, and USDA compliance across these opportunities underscores the institutional, commodity-scale nature of the market.
