UNSPSC 50353653: Frozen organic souzao grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353653 Frozen organic souzao grapes is a Commodity code that nominally addresses a single produce item, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly procure broad-based food service for school nutrition programs—fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, proteins, dairy, and supplies spanning hundreds of line items per contract. The mismatch between the code's granular product name and the actual scope of work being bought suggests systematic misclassification in state and local procurement systems; solicitations rarely isolate frozen organic souzao grapes as a standalone requirement. School districts represent the dominant issuing body, including the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System. State procurement offices and cooperative purchasing vehicles (the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across Georgia) also solicit under this code. These buyers source complete meal components rather than specialty produce items, driven by National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements that mandate nutritional standards, Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, and firm fixed pricing with transportation included.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary representation in Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ items (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 IFB for 900+ grocery items (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs to 30 districts, estimated at $5.5 million annually (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30, with options to extend or renew. Vendors must carry $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability insurance, comply with debarment and E-Verify requirements, maintain food safety certifications, and accept no fuel surcharges; payment terms range from Net 30 to Net 45 days. The code shows no meaningful recent activity for frozen organic souzao grapes as a differentiated product line.
