UNSPSC 50353446: Frozen organic jade seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353446 Frozen organic jade seedless grapes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local school nutrition procurement activity found in recent opportunities. The recent opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly solicit broad grocery and fresh produce for school lunch and breakfast programs, not organic specialty grape items. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and the Douglas County School System in Georgia each posted solicitations for comprehensive food service catalogs spanning meats, dairy, frozen goods, fresh produce, grains, condiments, and supplies—none of which specifically reference frozen organic jade seedless grapes as a line item. School districts issuing these solicitations typically require compliance with the National School Lunch Program, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, whole-grain standards, low-sodium formulations, and nutritional label compliance; they deliver to multiple school sites and negotiate firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. The mix of issuing bodies is predominantly school districts and boards of education, along with one city procurement office (Bridgeport) and one state-level request (Georgia).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Early County, and City Schools of Decatur), with secondary activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI). Recent representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases grocery items IFB with a June 30, 2026 response date covering 1,100+ line items for school nutrition, Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB with responses due June 26, 2026 for 200+ items across three schools, and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs under the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by geographic area and responses due March 4, 2026. The code appears misaligned with procurement reality; vendors pursuing school-nutrition contracts in these jurisdictions should track broad food-service RFPs and IFBs rather than niche specialty fruit categories.
