UNSPSC 50343491: Frozen superior seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343491 Frozen superior seedless grapes, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the broader frozen fruit and produce procurement activity that state and local governments undertake for institutional food service. The actual buying under this code spans institutional cafeteria operations at state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and correctional facilities, where frozen grapes appear as a line item within comprehensive grocery or produce solicitations rather than as standalone procurements. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related frozen fruit and produce codes—primarily school districts, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and correctional facilities—post opportunities across the country with moderate frequency. School districts constitute the largest share of recent activity, with solicitations from Hancock County (Georgia), Early County (Georgia), Bulloch County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), Henry County (Georgia), Fulton County (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and Hillsborough County (Florida) all seeking fresh and frozen produce within the past four months. State agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections also post regularly for frozen fruit and vegetable procurement.

Recent activity concentrated in the Southeast and Texas reflects the geographic footprint of school district consolidation and state institutional food service procurement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted supplemental food and consumable solicitations in February and June 2026 covering 210 and 385-class line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; the June solicitation (HHS0017660) for Big Spring State Hospital, an IFB due July 27, 2026, carried a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36 and covers approximately 110 line items with case quantities ranging from 10 to 70. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB on April 9, 2026 (S2910000016590) for one full truckload of frozen berry products (40,000 pounds estimated) with bids due April 23, 2026 at $0.89 per pound historical pricing. School nutrition solicitations dominate the sample: Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted a fresh produce IFB on June 10, 2026 (due June 26) spanning 200+ line items including apples, berries, and specialty fruit; Early County Schools (Georgia) posted a line-item food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8) across 300+ items; and the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued a frozen foods and grocery IFB on April 16, 2026 (due May 15) with a public virtual pre-bid on April 29. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 in school contexts, with renewal options up to four years. Pricing must remain firm for initial periods (30 to 60 days typical) with subsequent adjustments permitted only on documented market conditions (USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports, Consumer Price Index data) or federal minimum wage increases. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content are standard in school nutrition solicitations; HACCP plans, food recall procedures with 24/7 accessibility, and general liability insurance of $500,000 to $1,000,000 are consistently required. No frozen-seedless-grape-specific solicitations appear in the sample; the code sits within larger commodity buys where individual frozen fruit line items compete on price, quality, and vendor service capability across dozens of alternatives.
