UNSPSC 50353403: Frozen organic alphonse lavalle grapes

The variety of organic table grapes known as organic alphonse lavalle grapes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50353403 Frozen organic alphonse lavalle grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure this specific product under the code. Recent solicitations tagged to this code are actually buying broad commodity food baskets — shelf-stable proteins, grains, condiments, fresh produce, and school lunch program staples — rather than the narrow frozen-grape category the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's technical scope and actual procurement signals either a tagging error in the source data or an agency's use of a catch-all code for general produce and food contracting that bears little operational relationship to the commodity itself. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state procurement (State of Georgia). The work spans food-service contracting for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food supply.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County) and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) due October 19, 2026; Hancock County's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across over 200 line items (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus) due June 26, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery-items bid for over 1,100 line items supporting the National School Lunch Program due June 30, 2026. Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), compliance with school nutrition standards, and firm fixed pricing are standard contract terms. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity under its nominal scope; business development interest should focus on the broader food-supply contracting opportunities these jurisdictions actually pursue.
