UNSPSC 50353473 Frozen organic red malaga grapes is a Commodity code that sits within broader food procurement for school nutrition programs, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for this specific product. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are procuring frozen and fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, and grocery staples as part of comprehensive school meal contracts that span hundreds of line items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The actual buying under codes in this family focuses on aggregated food service procurement where frozen specialty produce items like organic malaga grapes would be a minor component alongside mainstream fruits, vegetables, proteins, and prepared items. Issuing bodies include school districts of varying sizes (from Early County and Hancock County to large systems like Savannah-Chatham and Douglas County serving 25,000–30,000+ students), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, and the State of Georgia. School districts dominate the solicitation activity, with a few municipal and state-level buyers present. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 and emphasize Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed items), whole grain and low-sodium standards, HACCP plans, firm pricing throughout the contract term with limited escalation provisions (often tied to USDA or CPI documentation and percentage thresholds), and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday during breakfast and lunch service windows.
