UNSPSC 50343419: Frozen cardinal grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343419 Frozen cardinal grapes is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code encompasses specialty frozen fruit products, specifically frozen grapes, intended for institutional food service and nutrition programs. Recent solicitations under this code or closely related frozen-fruit commodity categories show school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional facilities purchasing frozen specialty fruits as components of broader grocery or food-service procurement bundles rather than as standalone line items. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments of health and human services (Texas HHSC), county school boards across Georgia, counties managing institutional food services (Santa Clara County for corrections), Head Start agencies, and municipal school districts. When frozen fruits appear as distinct line items, they typically cluster within larger food-procurement IFBs or RFPs that span produce, proteins, dairy, and consumables for child nutrition, adult corrections, and state institutional care.

Geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and California, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two major statewide food-procurement IFBs (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449, posted February 2026 and June 2026) covering supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers, with frozen fruit and specialty foods embedded within broader 200+ line-item specifications. Georgia school districts dominate recent activity, with multiple county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Fulton County) issuing IFBs for school nutrition programs spanning dozens of fresh and frozen produce items. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000016590 in April 2026 specifically for frozen berry procurement (40,000 pounds of IQF berries for approximately $35,600), and the County of Santa Clara issued ITB ITBPRCFY260617 in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts. Frozen cardinal grapes do not appear as an explicitly named line item in any recent posting; the code's activity derives from its classification under broader frozen-produce and consumable-foods procurements rather than dedicated single-commodity solicitations.
