UNSPSC 50353502: Frozen organic canner grapes

The variety of organic raisin grapes known as organic canner grapes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50353502 Frozen organic canner grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code buy fresh and frozen produce, dairy, meat, grain, and pantry staples for school nutrition programs serving the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The recent solicitations span school districts across multiple states, alongside one state-level procurement and one city procurement office, all seeking comprehensive food service supplies rather than a single frozen-grape product line. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; Hancock County and Early County in Georgia; Decatur and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; and Douglas County in Georgia all posted opportunities in the recent window. Scope varies from line-item food-service bids covering hundreds of grocery and produce items with firm pricing, Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, food-recall procedures, and brand-or-equivalent specifications, to comprehensive food-supply-and-distribution RFPs for main-line vendors serving dozens of schools. All contracts require delivery Monday through Friday during school hours to multiple school sites, comply with USDA nutrition and labeling standards (whole grain, low sodium, zero trans fat), and operate on Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms with firm pricing for the full contract term absent major market changes.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with five separate school district solicitations (Hancock County due June 26, 2026; Decatur due May 15, 2026; Savannah-Chatham due April 23, 2026; Douglas County RFP for fresh produce and eggs due March 4, 2026; Douglas County RFP for food supply and distribution due February 18, 2026) and one state-level Georgia food procurement due June 22, 2026. Connecticut (City of Bridgeport due June 30, 2026) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI due April 29, 2026) also show recent activity. The Douglas County RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serves 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; the main-line food-supply RFP for Douglas County estimates approximately $9 million annually. Individual school district bids range from hundreds to over 1,000 line items spanning produce, dairy, frozen goods, grains, and proteins. These solicitations use IFB and RFP notice types; most impose no set-asides but require proof of Georgia E-Verify authorization, debarment certification, $500,000 to $2 million liability insurance, and three or more years of public school food-service experience.
