UNSPSC 50343423: Frozen concord grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343423 Frozen concord grapes is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of comprehensive food service contracts for institutional and school nutrition programs, though recent opportunities show no standalone solicitations specifically for this item. The code appears incidentally in broader grocery and produce procurement for state hospitals, school districts, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs where frozen grapes would be bundled among dozens or hundreds of line items. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has issued multiple statewide food procurement IFBs covering state-supported living centers and hospitals that encompass frozen fruit categories; Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and other Georgia school districts have solicited fresh and processed produce; and Head Start of Greater Dallas issued an IFB for frozen foods to meet Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements. The actual volume of frozen concord grapes ordered under these contracts remains opaque because the commodity sits within larger food-service line-item lists where individual SKU demand is not disclosed in bid notices.

Issuing bodies across the code span state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Georgia Department of Human Services), county boards of education (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Henry County in Georgia; Fulton County in Georgia; Early County in Georgia), municipal school systems (City Schools of Decatur, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), and child welfare agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas). No single repeat buyer dominates the activity. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, California, New Jersey, and Oregon. Recent opportunities cluster in the Q1–Q2 2026 window (January through July 2026). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC Invitation for Bids HHS0017660 for FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (response date July 27, 2026), which covers approximately 110 line items spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), which specifies over 200 fresh produce line items but carries no incumbent vendor identification and awards on lowest responsive bid. Frozen concord grapes do not appear as a line-item call-out in any posted opportunity, suggesting low procurement frequency or vendor discretion in substitution within broader fruit and vegetable categories.
