UNSPSC 50353423: Frozen organic concord grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353423 Frozen organic concord grapes is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs to support federal meal initiatives. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts sourcing frozen produce for school lunch and breakfast programs, typically bundled within larger grocery and frozen-foods solicitations. The actual procurement activity shows frozen grape products appearing as line items within comprehensive school nutrition contracts rather than as standalone purchases; recent school district RFPs name frozen fruits and vegetables among dozens of line items in broader frozen-foods and grocery categories, with products required to meet USDA compliance, whole-grain and nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, and Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items). Vendors supplying under this code must maintain HACCP food-safety plans, provide 24/7 recall accessibility, carry $500,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability insurance, comply with E-Verify authorization and federal debarment verification, and deliver on standard pallets to central warehouses and individual school sites Monday through Friday with transportation included in pricing and no separate fuel surcharges.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Missouri school districts, with recent RFPs posted across the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, alongside municipal school nutrition programs in Connecticut and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 30, 2026 IFB for grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American documentation required at bid submission (BNB052266, electronic bid portal); the Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200+ items with firm pricing for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (PE67080NONST2027000000013); and the Douglas County School System's multi-district cooperative procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (PE64810NONST2026000000047, RFP due March 4, 2026). Frozen organic concord grapes appear only as embedded line items within these broader solicitations, not as standalone purchases.
