UNSPSC 50343418: Frozen calmeria grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343418 Frozen calmeria grapes is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely procure in isolation; the code appears in the taxonomy but does not reflect a significant category of standalone purchasing activity in recent state and local contracts. When frozen grapes are sourced, they typically arrive as line items within much larger grocery and food service procurements—bulk fruit and vegetable bids, institutional food supply contracts, or school nutrition program solicitations—rather than as discrete vendor relationships. The recent opportunities block contains no bids specifically for frozen calmeria grapes; instead, the available solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing frozen and fresh produce as part of comprehensive food-service packages for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, child care programs, and social-service agencies.

State and local purchasing under the broader frozen fruit and specialty produce categories spans school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services commissions, corrections departments, and Head Start agencies across the South and West. Representative recent activity includes Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurements for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017660 due July 27, 2026, and IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026), the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery bid covering over 1,100 line items with frozen products (due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas' frozen foods procurement totaling an estimated $969,460.94 (bids due June 24, 2026), Hancock County Schools' fresh produce bid for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen berry solicitation for 40,000 pounds (ITB S2910000016590, due April 23, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program produce delivery contract (RFP 26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026). Most school-district procurements require Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, state health inspections, liability insurance, and compliance with USDA nutrition and whole-grain standards. Frozen fruit rarely appears as a standalone line item; vendors competing for these contracts typically carry full-service grocery and produce portfolios and must demonstrate five or more years of experience in institutional food service.
