UNSPSC 50343413: Frozen black globe grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343413 Frozen black globe grapes (Commodity) describes fresh produce that state and local governments procure through food service contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and state-supported institutions. The code appears narrowly focused on a single specialty fruit variety, yet recent state and local solicitations show that frozen grapes represent only a fraction of broader fresh and frozen produce buys. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and county governments regularly issue RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive grocery and produce programs that bundle frozen fruits, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods into large, multi-vendor contracts. The issuing-body mix spans state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county and city school districts (Fulton County Schools, Douglas County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Bridgeport Board of Education, Henry County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education), counties (Santa Clara County for correctional facilities), nonprofit child care operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections). Repeat buyers include Texas HHSC (at least three active solicitations), Georgia school districts (Fulton, Douglas, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur, Henry County, Hancock, Early County, Bulloch), and Bridgeport and Rockwood school systems.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and California, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, covering 110+ line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples at a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36); the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's RFQ for grocery items (bids due June 30, 2026, spanning 1,100+ line items for the National School Lunch Program with Buy American requirements); Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for grocery products (sealed bids due June 24, 2026, covering approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat with a total estimated value of $969,460.94); the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 11, 2026, with prior-year spend of $1.5 million); and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (bids due June 26, 2026, covering 200+ line items of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty items). Frozen grape procurement within these contracts is embedded in larger produce or grocery categories and does not drive volume or frequency; the code's utility as a search or forecasting tool for business development remains limited by its specificity relative to the actual scope of state and local food-service purchasing.
