UNSPSC 50313615: Organic emerald riesling grapes

The variety of organic wine grapes known as organic emerald riesling grapes

UNSPSC 50313615 Organic emerald riesling grapes, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual procurement activity in state and local education procurement. Recent solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly solicit generic fresh produce — bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, and other commodity fruits and vegetables — rather than specialty wine-grape varieties. School nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are the primary issuing bodies, procuring produce for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program service to elementary through high school students, supplemented by USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding at participating schools. The code appears to have been misapplied across the board to routine school food service produce solicitations with no evidence of organic specialty viticulture products being purchased under it.

School districts issue the overwhelming majority of opportunities under this tag: Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), 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), with the latter also coordinating a cooperative purchasing opportunity across 30 districts. Recent opportunities span RFB (Request for Bid), RFP (Request for Proposal), IFB (Invitation for Bid), and ITB (Invitation to Bid) formats with response dates from late February through late July 2026. Georgia school districts dominate recent activity, with particular concentration in coastal and central counties. Estimated contract values where disclosed range from $78,000 annually (Madison petite bananas) to $4.4 million for a 30-district cooperative in Georgia. No organic specialty grapes appear in any scope of work reviewed; the code assignment reflects a cataloging error rather than actual procurement intent.
