UNSPSC 50353659: Frozen organic teroldego grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353659 Frozen organic teroldego grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of frozen teroldego grapes or any comparable specialty frozen grape product. Instead, the opportunities span broad grocery and fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs — breakfast and lunch items, fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, condiments, and supplies — solicited by school districts and city education departments across multiple states. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought indicates that this Commodity code either captures a niche product category with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement, or that issuing bodies are tagging school nutrition multi-category bids with a code that does not align with their actual purchases.

The recent opportunities reflect strong and consistent activity in school nutrition food service procurement across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, with districts and boards of education serving as the primary issuing bodies. The Douglas County School System in Georgia has posted two RFPs—one for fresh produce and eggs (RFP SN 26-004, proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spending $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two) and one for food supply and distribution services (RFP 26-003, proposals due February 18, 2026, estimated annual expenditure $9 million)—both through a cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative) spanning 30 school districts. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education solicited grocery items through an IFB covering over 1,100 line items (due June 30, 2026), and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia issued a bid for fresh produce to 60 school sites (due April 23, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education in Georgia (food and non-food items due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur in Georgia (frozen foods and grocery IFB due May 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (grocery items with over 900 line items due April 29, 2026), and the State of Georgia (food, supplies, and kitchen products due June 22, 2026) have all posted opportunities in the first half of 2026. These solicitations typically require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), HACCP plans, food recall procedures, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, delivery Monday through Friday to multiple school sites, and compliance with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act and whole-grain standards. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and includes activity in Connecticut and Missouri.
