UNSPSC 50353491: Frozen organic superior seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353491 Frozen organic superior seedless grapes is a Commodity code that names a specific produce item, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect targeted sourcing of frozen organic seedless grapes as a standalone line item. Instead, school districts and municipalities are soliciting comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce contracts that bundle frozen and fresh items across hundreds of line items, with frozen grapes appearing incidentally within broader frozen-fruit or produce categories rather than as a specified commodity. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school nutrition programs, including the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia. Municipal governments and state agencies (Georgia Department of Education or equivalent) also participate in these collective procurements. The scope of work involves supplying meal components for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with vendors meeting Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP certification, food-safety documentation, and USDA nutrition standards including whole-grain and low-sodium formulations.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with additional opportunities posted in Connecticut and multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles serving regional school nutrition programs. Representative recent procurements include the City of Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ items due June 26, 2026, and Douglas County School System's RFP issued through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with a March 4, 2026 response deadline. Bid cycles are concentrated in late winter and spring for contract periods commencing July 1, 2026, and vendor requirements consistently include $1,000,000 general liability insurance, firm fixed pricing across 12-month terms, and delivery to multiple school sites. The code shows substantial indirect relevance to school nutrition procurement but minimal direct solicitation of frozen organic seedless grapes as a commodity specification.
