UNSPSC 50353606: Frozen organic carignane grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353606 Frozen organic carignane grapes, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement for shelf-stable and specialty food products sourced through school nutrition programs, county social services, and municipal food supply chains. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show minimal activity directly tied to frozen organic grapes; instead, the code appears to capture broader food procurement where frozen produce is one among many line items. State and local buyers purchasing under this code include county boards of education, municipal school boards, county departments of community services, and state procurement offices. The typical purchase encompasses fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, grains, condiments, and specialty items in support of the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and community meal services. Vendors must navigate Buy American requirements (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), USDA nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, HACCP compliance, food recall procedures, and delivery logistics tied to school sites or senior services centers. Awards generally go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with districts reserving the right to split awards across multiple vendors or extend contracts annually.
