UNSPSC 50353424: Frozen organic concord seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353424 Frozen organic concord seedless grapes is a Commodity code that captures one narrow product line within the broader fresh and frozen produce procurement that state and local school nutrition programs conduct. The recent solicitations in this code's orbit, however, show minimal explicit demand for this specific item; instead, they reflect school districts and municipal education departments buying comprehensive grocery portfolios spanning fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and non-food supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. When frozen grapes do appear in these solicitations, they are line items within large multi-hundred-item fresh and frozen produce contracts rather than standalone procurements. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), city school systems (City Schools of Decatur in Georgia), municipal education departments (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), and state agencies (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, with procurement cycles anchored to the July 1 start of the school nutrition fiscal year and contract terms running through June 30 of the following year.

Recent representative opportunities show the geographic spread concentrated in Georgia and the Southeast, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri. The Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty produce; the City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) requiring whole grain and low-sodium compliance; the Douglas County School System issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million; and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items for over 6,900 daily lunch participants (due April 29, 2026) across approximately 900 line items. Buy American requirements mandating 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges are standard across all recent school nutrition solicitations. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects high volume, routine annual cycles, and tight compliance with federal nutrition standards, though frozen organic grapes as an isolated commodity rarely appear as a standalone procurement vehicle.
