UNSPSC 50353658: Frozen organic tempranillo grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353658 Frozen organic tempranillo grapes is a Commodity-tier code that captures perishable specialty produce items within broader school nutrition and institutional food service procurement. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for frozen organic tempranillo grapes specifically; instead, the code appears to be tagged to comprehensive grocery and produce procurement that spans frozen products, fresh produce, and staple food items for school meal programs. The actual buying under related codes in this family covers frozen foods, fresh produce across dozens of varieties (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), eggs, dairy, meats, grains, and prepared entrees sourced to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance. Issuing bodies include school districts across multiple states (Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri) and city school systems, which represent the primary market for organized food service procurement at the state and local level. Individual school boards of education and consolidated county school systems are the dominant purchasing entities, supplemented by municipal purchasing departments procuring on behalf of school districts and cooperative buying groups serving multiple districts simultaneously.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Connecticut, with activity in Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education's June 2026 grocery items bid spanning over 1,100 line items with a due date of June 30, 2026 (IFB BNB052266); Hancock County Board of Education's (Georgia) fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year with a June 26, 2026 due date; the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) Child Nutrition Services grocery items bid due April 29, 2026, covering over 900 line items; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million, due February 18, 2026. All solicitations mandate Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed goods), HACCP plans, firm pricing for the contract period, delivery within specified windows, and compliance with USDA child nutrition standards. Vendors must carry minimum general liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence typical), maintain E-Verify authorization where required, and comply with debarment and suspension verification. No recent opportunities explicitly name frozen organic tempranillo grapes as a line item, suggesting the code may be a taxonomic placeholder with limited direct market activity in current school nutrition procurement cycles.
