UNSPSC 50353665: Frozen organic zinfandel grapes

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

UNSPSC 50353665 Frozen organic zinfandel grapes, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting food under codes in this range are procuring comprehensive grocery and food service supply contracts to support school nutrition programs — primarily breakfast and lunch services under the National School Lunch Program. The recent opportunities reveal that issuing bodies tag broad frozen-food and grocery RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs under this and adjacent codes even when the actual scope spans hundreds of line items across fresh produce, meats, dairy, grains, condiments, and frozen products rather than a single commodity. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated in Georgia and supported by district nutrition departments. Representative recent solicitations include the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (response date May 15, 2026), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce annual contract (response date April 23, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts (response date March 4, 2026). The Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri also solicited grocery items for over 900 line items (response date April 29, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut sought grocery items for the Board of Education (response date June 30, 2026).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with additional procurement from Connecticut. The Douglas County cooperative procurement signals multi-district purchasing vehicles covering 18 to 30 school districts per contract. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, federal debarment and E-Verify certifications, and liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million coverage) are standard across all recent opportunities. Bid pricing is firm for the full contract period (typically July 1 through June 30 the following year) with no fuel surcharges permitted; payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45 days. Food products must meet USDA nutrition standards, whole-grain specifications, and low-sodium requirements. Vendors deliver to central warehouses or directly to individual school sites Monday through Friday within set time windows, often requiring LINQ or Bonfire e-procurement portal submissions. The scale suggests steady, recurring procurement but the code's tagging does not reflect the actual commodity diversity state and local nutrition programs are buying.
