UNSPSC 50343429: Frozen early sweet grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343429 Frozen early sweet grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy frozen fruit—particularly grapes, berries, and other specialty frozen produce—under this code to support school nutrition programs, state institutional food services, and child care feeding initiatives. Recent solicitations reflect a mix of school districts, state health agencies, and county correction departments seeking frozen fruit products that meet USDA nutritional standards, food safety compliance (HACCP, recall procedures), Buy American requirements, and specific packaging and shelf-life specifications. The work involves supplying frozen commodity items in bulk case quantities with firm pricing, temperature-controlled delivery, and compliance with federal child nutrition regulations.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing frozen fruit procurement span school districts of varying sizes—from small rural districts like Hancock County Schools in Georgia to large urban systems like Savannah-Chatham and Hillsborough County in Florida and Georgia—alongside state health agencies (Texas HHSC for institutional feeding at state hospitals and supported living centers), county correction facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department), and Head Start programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with scattered activity across California, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' April 2026 ITB for 40,000 pounds of unsweetened individually quick frozen berries (S2910000016590, due April 23, 2026, at $0.89 per pound historical benchmark); and Head Start of Greater Dallas' June 2026 IFB for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce for child care programs serving ages 6 weeks to 5 years (26GP, due June 24, 2026, total estimated value $969,460.94). Frozen grape procurement itself appears limited in recent postings; the code sees broader activity under frozen berries and mixed frozen fruit categories supporting institutional and school meal programs.
