UNSPSC 50313645: Organic royalty grapes

The variety of organic wine grapes known as organic royalty grapes

UNSPSC 50313645 Organic royalty grapes is a Commodity code that in practice maps to the broader category of school nutrition produce procurement, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal activity specific to organic grapes. Instead, the code's recent posting record reflects school districts across the South — primarily Georgia and Texas, with activity in Florida and Wisconsin — soliciting fresh produce for K-12 school nutrition programs under a mix of notice types: Requests for Proposal (RFP), Invitations for Bid (IFB), and Requests for Bids (RFB). The work being solicited is supply, delivery, and storage of fresh fruits and vegetables (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, melons, carrots, onions, citrus, and specialty items) to multiple school sites on weekly or more frequent schedules, with emphasis on compliance with USDA nutrition standards, Buy American domestic-content requirements, HACCP food safety plans, and traceability documentation. Contract values range from $78,000 annually (Madison Metropolitan School District petite banana supply) to estimated $4.4 million and $1.1 million for two Georgia geographic areas in a cooperative procurement. School districts dominate the issuing-body profile, supplemented by one state-level procurement (Georgia Department of Public Instruction) and one county board of education. Repeat buyers include multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County) and Texas independent school districts (McAllen, Austin), alongside Wisconsin's Madison Metropolitan School District.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, Douglas County cooperative), Texas (McAllen Independent, Austin Independent), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple varieties (bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 72 produce line items serving 30 districts with estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million and $1.1 million by geographic area (proposals due March 4, 2026). Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa solicited USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables under RFP 26039RFPDST (proposals due March 11, 2026, with estimated annual budget of $600,000). Local-sourcing preferences are common: Bartow County, Bulloch County, and McAllen Independent all impose geographic limits (400 miles, 200 miles, and 50 miles respectively). Award structures typically follow lowest responsive and responsible bidder or lowest cost with line-item allocation to multiple vendors. Set-asides and diversity preferences vary — some districts apply modest scoring bonuses for diverse-owned or HUB status (5–15 points on 100-point scales), while others impose no explicit disadvantaged-enterprise designations. Organic grapes as a standalone commodity show no recent standalone solicitations; the code's activity reflects institutional fresh produce supply chains in which organic certification is one optional product attribute rather than a primary procurement driver.
