UNSPSC 50343445: Frozen italia grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343445 Frozen italia grapes (Commodity) does not match the scope of recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The code nominally describes a single frozen-grape commodity, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen grapes—Italian or otherwise. Instead, the opportunities span broad school nutrition, institutional food service, and correctional-facility procurement across dozens of states, with recent activity dominated by comprehensive grocery bids, fresh produce contracts, frozen foods and novelties, dried fruits and nuts, and food-service distribution spanning hundreds of line items per solicitation. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fulton County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Henry County Schools, Douglas County School System, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools), state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC for state hospitals and supported living centers), a county correctional facility (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction), a Head Start program (Head Start of Greater Dallas), the Oregon Department of Corrections, and municipal education authorities (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, California, Oregon, and New Jersey, with Georgia and Texas showing the heaviest concentration in recent months.

Representative opportunities illustrate the mismatch plainly. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017660 on July 13, 2026 (due July 27, 2026) for approximately 110 grocery line items—proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and packaging—for Big Spring State Hospital under a firm fixed-price blanket contract with historical spend of $32,226.36 annually. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education issued RFQ BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026) for over 1,100 grocery line items spanning breakfast items, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meats for school nutrition under National School Lunch Program rules and Buy American requirements. Head Start of Greater Dallas solicited IFB 26-GP for primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers of approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat across multiple categories meeting CACFP standards, with total estimated value of $969,460.94 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for April 16, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities tagged to it reflect broad food-service procurement taxonomy rather than a specific frozen-grape commodity line.
