UNSPSC 50353413: Frozen organic black globe grapes

The variety of organic table grapes known as organic black globe grapes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50353413 Frozen organic black globe grapes, a Commodity code, encompasses frozen specialty produce items purchased by school districts to support child nutrition programs. Recent state and local opportunities show that while this specific commodity appears in broader frozen-food and grocery solicitations tagged to the code, actual procurement activity centers on school nutrition programs buying comprehensive frozen and fresh produce portfolios rather than frozen organic black grapes as a standalone line item. School districts are the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut, supported by National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program funding. Procurements typically require USDA Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), HACCP plans, food recall procedures, and adherence to whole-grain and nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. Vendors must provide liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million depending on district), E-Verify authorization, debarment certification, and detailed product documentation including nutritional analyses and ingredient panels. Contract terms run July through June annually, with firm pricing throughout the period and delivery Monday through Friday to designated school sites.

School districts and independent school systems across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri dominate recent solicitation activity. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items with response due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce with 200+ line items due June 26, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited approximately 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026; and the City Schools of Decatur, Georgia issued IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026. The Douglas County School System in Georgia procured fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), closing March 4, 2026. Geographic concentration in Georgia reflects sustained school nutrition procurement activity in the state, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri.
