UNSPSC 50353431: Frozen organic emperatriz grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353431 Frozen organic emperatriz grapes, a Commodity code, does not map clearly to the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The code nominally covers a single specialty produce item, but the recent solicitations capture school districts, counties, and municipal governments purchasing comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce portfolios—spanning frozen entrees, dairy, grains, condiments, meats, and dozens of fresh fruit and vegetable varieties—to support National School Lunch Program and breakfast service operations. While frozen grapes may appear as one line item within these broader food-service RFPs, the code's narrow scope does not reflect the actual breadth of what is being bought. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; City Schools of Decatur in Georgia; Early County and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Douglas County in Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County in Georgia), municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state-level agencies (State of Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate this activity, with each district typically seeking single or multi-vendor awards across hundreds of line items to support daily lunch and breakfast service for thousands of students.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with notable activity in Connecticut and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for grocery items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American domestic-content requirements and HACCP compliance; Hancock County Board of Education fresh-produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) covering 200 produce varieties across apple, berry, vegetable, and specialty-fruit categories; the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million across two geographic areas serving 30 school districts; and Rockwood R-VI School District grocery-items solicitation (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026) encompassing 900+ line items for approximately 6,900 daily lunch and 900 breakfast participants. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, firm fixed pricing including delivery, and performance across multiple school sites or central warehouses.
