UNSPSC 50353495: Frozen organic white seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353495 Frozen organic white seedless grapes (Commodity) describes a single produce item, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not isolate it as a line item. Rather, frozen organic grapes appear as one line among hundreds in broader fresh and frozen produce procurements serving school nutrition programs. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal school systems solicit these items as part of comprehensive grocery and produce contracts that bundle multiple categories—fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen items, dairy, meats, grains, and condiments—to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. The scope spans bulk produce delivery to central warehouses and direct distribution to individual schools, with strict compliance requirements including USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), HACCP food safety plans, nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, whole-grain and low-sodium specifications, and 24/7 food recall accessibility. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with options to renew or extend, and vendors must maintain general liability insurance (commonly $1 million per occurrence, $2 million aggregate), pass E-Verify authorization, complete federal debarment certification, and deliver on firm pricing with no fuel surcharges.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut school districts. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce on June 10, 2026, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty fruits—Hancock's buying model is representative of how individual line items like frozen organic grapes are absorbed into larger fresh-produce solicitations. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education on June 30, 2026, covering 1,100+ line items with similar bundled scope. The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (May 15, 2026), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) posted a bid for fresh produce (April 23, 2026), and the Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri) sought grocery items for child nutrition (April 29, 2026)—all models in which frozen organic white seedless grapes would be one commodity among many, priced and ordered within a comprehensive line-item or market-basket structure. Geographic activity centers on Georgia (multiple school districts), with secondary presence in Connecticut and Missouri; the source shows no isolated procurement for this single commodity.
