UNSPSC 50353600: Frozen organic wine grapes

The type of organic grape known as organic wine grapes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50353600 Frozen organic wine grapes, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity on record. The code nominally describes a specific agricultural commodity—frozen organic wine grapes—yet the solicitations tagged to it document procurement of comprehensive grocery, fresh produce, and food-service distribution for school nutrition programs across multiple states.

State and local school districts and food service authorities are the dominant issuing bodies, including the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative). Recent solicitations span January through June 2026 and cover frozen foods, fresh produce, grocery staples, eggs, meats, dairy, condiments, and full food-service distribution. Georgia jurisdictions account for the heaviest concentration of recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (due June 30, 2026, supporting the National School Lunch Program with Buy American provisions requiring 51% domestic agricultural ingredients), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million across both geographic areas). Pricing must remain firm for contract periods, deliveries occur Monday through Friday to school sites or central warehouses, and all vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, HACCP food safety plans, E-Verify requirements, and maintain commercial general liability insurance typically at $1 million per occurrence. The code shows no recent activity directly purchasing frozen organic wine grapes; the classification appears to be a tagging error, and the actual procurement volume reflects school nutrition program commodity procurement rather than specialized organic wine grape sourcing.
