UNSPSC 50343402: Frozen almeria grapes

The variety of table grapes known as almeria grapes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50343402 Frozen almeria grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen grape products procured by state and local governments as part of broader food service and nutrition programs. Recent state and local opportunities show this code is tagged primarily in large-scale institutional food procurement—school nutrition services, state hospital and residential care facilities, and correctional institutions—where frozen grapes appear as line items within comprehensive grocery or produce specifications rather than as standalone contracts. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Henry County Schools in Georgia, and others), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and state supported living centers), county corrections departments (Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff), and Head Start programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas). The code sees activity across the South and Southwest, with Georgia school districts and Texas state facilities representing the most recent and concentrated activity.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), which spans 110 food line items including frozen fruits; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce (bids due June 26, 2026), covering 200+ produce items with potential frozen options; and Rockwood R-VI School District's procurement for 900+ grocery line items for the 2026-27 school year (bids due April 29, 2026, electronically via NUTRIKIDS). Frozen grapes specifically do not appear as a named commodity in the posted solicitations reviewed; the code's presence in state and local procurement is inferred from the broader produce and grocery scopes these agencies solicit. Activity is driven by annual school nutrition budgets, state facility food service contracts, and federal Child Nutrition and CACFP funding, with contract terms typically July 1 through June 30 and firm pricing requirements that may allow limited escalation based on USDA or CPI reporting.
