UNSPSC 50343481: Frozen ruby seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343481 Frozen ruby seedless grapes (Commodity) does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tracked under this code. The source contains no solicitations specifically for frozen ruby seedless grapes or any other frozen grapes. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span general grocery procurement for state facilities, school nutrition programs, and correction departments, with frozen produce appearing as one line item within much broader food-service solicitations rather than as a targeted commodity. The code shows activity across state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Hancock County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia, Bulloch County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Hillsborough County in Florida, Early County in Georgia, Fulton County in Georgia, Bridgeport in Connecticut, Henry County in Georgia), Head Start organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and county corrections departments (Santa Clara County, California). The issuing bodies lean heavily toward K–12 school nutrition programs subject to USDA commodity requirements and Buy American provisions, alongside state-level food service for hospitals and supported living centers.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code span Texas HHSC grocery and supplemental food procurements for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017660 due July 27, 2026; IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026; IFB HHS0016792 with historical spend of $4.5 million over three years), multiple school district RFPs for fresh and frozen produce and general grocery items (Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce due June 26, 2026; Bulloch County Board of Education IFB due May 4, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District electronic bid due April 29, 2026), specialized procurement for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP due March 11, 2026), and ancillary food categories including ice cream, dried fruits, and eggs. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, California, Oregon, and Florida. The code's current use as a catch-all for general grocery and frozen-food procurement misaligns with its specific commodity focus, suggesting either miscoding at source or that frozen grapes are too granular a line item to drive standalone procurement in the state and local market.
