UNSPSC 50353485: Frozen organic sugarthirteen grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353485 Frozen organic sugarthirteen grapes (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity. State and local governments soliciting under this code are not buying frozen organic specialty grapes; instead, they are procuring comprehensive grocery and food service supplies to support school nutrition programs, including fresh and frozen produce, meats, dairy, grains, and related items for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county boards of education across multiple states, along with a city school system and a state-level buyer. Representative recent opportunities span Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) seeking over 1,100 line items of grocery items for delivery through June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) procuring over 200 line items of fresh produce through June 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting approximately 300+ food items plus non-food supplies due June 8, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) soliciting over 900 line items of grocery items through April 29, 2026.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, where multiple school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Decatur City Schools, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County) have posted fresh produce and grocery solicitations since February 2026, with Connecticut and Missouri also showing significant activity. The Douglas County School System is notably active, managing cooperative purchasing for 30 districts across two geographic areas through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spend around $5.5 million combined. Recent notices are structured as sealed-bid IFBs and RFPs with response deadlines ranging from March through June 2026, all requiring firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance with 51% domestic agricultural content, HACCP plans, food recall procedures, E-Verify authorization, and liability insurance at $1,000,000 per occurrence minimum. The code's nominal title does not reflect the actual market—this appears to be a taxonomy misclassification rather than a targeted specialty-fruit procurement category.
