UNSPSC 50353601: Frozen organic alicante bouschet grapes

The variety of organic wine grapes known as organic alicante bouschet grapes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50353601 Frozen organic alicante bouschet grapes is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific frozen varietal grape product, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity aligned with this narrow specification. State and local governments procure fresh and frozen produce under related codes as part of comprehensive food-supply contracts for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under produce-related codes include county boards of education, city school districts, county departments of community services, and state procurement offices. Contracts typically bundle produce with proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and non-food supplies on a line-item basis, with awards made to responsive and responsible bidders offering the lowest unit-pricing. Vendors must meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP certification, food recall procedures, debarment verification, E-Verify compliance, and liability insurance thresholds; blind product testing by school personnel and lab technicians is common, and samples are rejected at vendor expense if they fail nutrition, taste, texture, or specification standards.

Recent state and local opportunities show produce procurement concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026 (bids due June 26, 2026) for over 200 line items of fresh produce including apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and specialty items for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. Early County Board of Education posted bids on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies supporting breakfast and lunch programs across three schools, with delivery Monday through Friday and domestic sourcing preferences emphasized.
