UNSPSC 50343471: Frozen red blush grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343471 Frozen red blush grapes, a Commodity code, covers fresh frozen produce that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and corrections facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county correctional systems purchasing frozen fruit as part of broad grocery and produce contracts spanning 100–300+ line items, often alongside fresh vegetables, proteins, and prepared foods. The code sits within institutional food procurement where frozen fruit is one component of comprehensive meal-service sourcing; recent opportunities demonstrate that grapes, berries, and mixed frozen fruit are bundled into larger food-service categories rather than solicited as standalone items.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fulton County Schools, Henry County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, New Jersey Department of Human Services), and county/municipal correctional systems (Santa Clara County Sheriff, Elmwood Correctional Facility). School districts are the dominant buyers, driven by federal nutrition programs (USDA School Lunch Program, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, CACFP). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Florida, and California, with secondary activity in Oregon, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for approximately 110 line items of groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, and specialty items for 2026–27 (due June 26, 2026); Henry County Schools' IFB for food items across 52 school locations (due May 5, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 40,000 pounds of frozen berries to Salem Distribution Center (due April 23, 2026, with prior award at $0.89 per pound). School nutrition procurements typically enforce Buy American provisions (51% domestic content for processed products), HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing with limited mid-term adjustments tied to USDA or CPI benchmarks, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday–Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
