UNSPSC 50353490: Frozen organic sunset grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353490 Frozen organic sunset grapes is a Commodity code that describes a single frozen fruit product line, yet state and local procurement activity under this code shows almost no relevance to the nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged with this code are actually broad-based school nutrition procurement solicitations spanning hundreds of food items — frozen and fresh produce, meats, dairy, grains, condiments, and supplies — for child nutrition and school lunch programs. The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and boards of education (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Rockwood, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County) seeking annual grocery and produce contracts that run July through June. These are high-volume, competitive procurements driven by federal nutrition standards (Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, USDA commodity compliance, Buy American provisions with 51% domestic-content requirements) and serve thousands of daily meals across multiple school sites.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia and the adjacent Southeast, with the largest opportunities appearing in Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County) and secondary activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood). The Douglas County School System cooperative procurement (issued January 2026, due February 18, 2026) is the most substantive: an RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas, requiring five years' prior public-school experience and cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing tied to USDA terminal market reports. Bridgeport's solicitation (IFB, due June 30, 2026) requests over 1,100 grocery line items with firm pricing, firm deliveries to warehouse and school sites, LINQ ordering-system integration, and blind-taste testing at vendor expense. These solicitations consistently require HACCP plans, 24/7 recall accessibility, liability insurance ($1–2 million), state E-Verify compliance, and federal debarment certification. The nominal frozen-organic-grape code does not reflect the actual work being procured, which is general school-nutrition distribution and supply.
