UNSPSC 50353627: Frozen organic mataro grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353627 Frozen organic mataro grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen fruit products purchased by state and local school nutrition programs to support federally funded meal service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code focus on comprehensive grocery and produce procurement for school districts, where frozen and fresh produce items—including specialty grapes and other fruits—are procured as line items within larger nutrition contracts. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, supplemented by municipal food service departments and regional cooperative buying groups serving multiple districts. The work includes sourcing, delivery, specification compliance, food safety certification (HACCP plans and recall procedures), USDA Buy American compliance with minimum 51 percent domestic content documentation, nutrition labeling, and cold-chain management to designated school locations. Vendors must carry general liability and products liability insurance ($1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate), provide health inspections and third-party references, maintain E-Verify authorization, and accept fixed pricing throughout the contract period—typically July 1 through June 30—with no fuel surcharges permitted.
