UNSPSC 50343420: Frozen catawba grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343420 Frozen catawba grapes, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual goods state and local governments are buying under this designation. Recent solicitations posted against this code span general-purpose grocery procurement, school nutrition programs, corrections food service, and child care nutrition support—none of which center on frozen catawba grapes specifically. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than a meaningful taxonomy signal for frozen specialty fruit sourcing.

State and local issuing bodies applying this code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fulton County Schools, Henry County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, New Jersey Department of Human Services), county governments (Santa Clara County, Douglas County), and child care operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas). School districts dominate recent activity, particularly in Georgia. The scope of work across these opportunities spans comprehensive grocery and food-service-supply procurement—proteins, prepared foods, dairy, fresh produce, frozen vegetables and fruits, pantry staples, beverages, and food service packaging—with individual contracts valued from approximately $32,000 (prior-year baseline, Big Spring State Hospital) to $9,000,000 (Douglas County School System food distribution). Opportunities are issued as Invitations for Bid (IFB), Requests for Proposal (RFP), and Invitations to Bid (ITB), with response windows typically 30 to 60 days. Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Fulton County, Henry County, Bulloch County, Early County, Douglas County), Texas (Big Spring State Hospital, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Connecticut (Bridgeport), California (Santa Clara County), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Representative recent solicitations include HHS0017660 (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, approximately 110 grocery line items for Big Spring State Hospital, IFB, due 27 July 2026, prior-year spend $32,226), BNB052266 (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases for Bridgeport Board of Education, over 1,100 grocery items with Buy American and nutritional compliance requirements, IFB, due 30 June 2026), 26GP (Head Start of Greater Dallas, approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce for child care, IFB, estimated procurement value $969,460.94, pre-bid 16 April 2026), and HHS0016792V2 (Texas HHSC and DSHS, 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated foods for state hospitals and supported living centers, maximum potential value $4,500,000 over three years, IFB, due 19 March 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not align with actual buying activity, targeting procurement under this code requires treating it as a catch-all grocery and nutrition-supply classification rather than a frozen specialty-fruit category.
