UNSPSC 50353492: Frozen organic thompson seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353492 Frozen organic thompson seedless grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen fruit products procured by state and local governments, primarily school districts and municipal education agencies purchasing for child nutrition programs. While the code's nominal description is narrow, recent state and local solicitations show that procurement under this code in practice spans broad frozen and fresh produce categories alongside comprehensive grocery and food-service supply. School nutrition programs use this code when sourcing frozen fruits and related produce items as components of larger food-service awards that emphasize USDA compliance, whole-grain standards, low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives or allergens (particularly nuts and nut oils). Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural content are standard across these solicitations, and all deliveries must comply with temperature controls, shelf-life rotation, and comprehensive labeling with nutritional and CN label documentation. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education across multiple states, with occasional state-level procurement (as evidenced by the State of Georgia food supplies solicitation) and municipal education authorities. Recent opportunities show school districts repeatedly sourcing under this code—Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System have all posted fresh produce or frozen food procurements in the past four months. These districts consistently emphasize HACCP plan compliance, 24/7 food recall accessibility, E-Verify authorization, minimum $1,000,000 general liability insurance, and debarment/suspension verification.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools and the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas, and Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County (Missouri), alongside municipal solicitation from the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut. The Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus fruits, and specialty items) closed June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services across 1,100+ line items (BNB052266, closed June 30, 2026). The Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services sought grocery items spanning over 900 line items for the 2026-27 school year with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026 through the NUTRIKIDS system. The Douglas County School System issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Contract terms are consistently July 1 through June 30 of the following year, with firm pricing throughout the period and payment typically due within 30 to 45 days of delivery and inspection.
