UNSPSC 50353644: Frozen organic roussanne grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353644 Frozen organic roussanne grapes (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. The recent opportunities posted under 50353644 are school nutrition solicitations for broad grocery and produce categories—not specialty grape varieties or frozen organic fruit procurement. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items of breakfast foods, cereals, frozen products, vegetables, and meats; Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB covering multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus fruits; and Early County Schools' food and non-food line-by-line bid for meats, dairy, vegetables, grains, and condiments are all representative of the actual scope being bought. None of these solicitations specifically call for frozen organic roussanne grapes or any specialty frozen fruit. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error or that the code has been broadly applied to general commodity aggregations that do not reflect the code's nominal scope. State and local procurement under this code, as currently posted, comprises large-volume school nutrition contracts in which frozen and fresh produce are line items within much larger food-service packages, not specialty ingredient procurement.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. The Douglas County School System in Georgia posted multiple RFPs (for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative and for food supply and distribution serving 25,500 students with approximately $9 million annual spend), while Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and the City Schools of Decatur all issued IFBs for fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery items. The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited grocery items for approximately 6,900 daily lunch participants and 900 breakfast participants across a 900+ line-item specification on April 29, 2026 (due date); the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education) issued a 1,100+ line-item grocery IFB due June 30, 2026. All school nutrition contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with firm pricing and Buy American compliance (51% domestic agricultural content minimum) and HACCP certification required. The code shows active competition from school food service integrators and broadline distributors, but no recent opportunities specifically target frozen organic roussanne grapes or comparable specialty produce lines.
