UNSPSC 50343500: Frozen raisin grapes

The type of grape known as raisin grapes that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50343500 Frozen raisin grapes, a Class code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity in the recent opportunities tagged under it. The opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly solicit broad grocery and food service supplies for public institutions—state hospitals, school districts, correctional facilities, and child care centers—rather than frozen raisins specifically. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal commodity scope; the recent state and local solicitations are tagged with 50343500 but are plainly purchasing comprehensive food baskets, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and food service supplies across multiple product categories and vendor tiers.

The issuing bodies span state-level health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections), county school boards (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Fulton County, Early County, Henry County, Douglas County, Decatur), city school districts (Bridgeport, Rockwood), municipal correctional facilities (Santa Clara County), Head Start child care networks (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and special-purpose districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools). School nutrition procurement dominates the recent activity, with at least fifteen school district opportunities posted between February and July 2026. Texas HHSC has posted multiple institutional food service bids (HHS0017660, HHS0017449, HHS0016792) for state hospitals and supported living centers. Geographic spread spans Texas (multiple HHSC solicitations), Georgia (at least eight school districts), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), California (Santa Clara County), Missouri (Rockwood), Oregon (ODOC), New Jersey (frozen vegetables rebid), and multi-state cooperative arrangements (GEC Buying Cooperative). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (response due July 27, 2026; $32,226 prior-year baseline), the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of school nutrition products with Buy American compliance (due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for primary, secondary, and tertiary frozen food and produce suppliers across 32,409 cases annually with estimated value $969,460.94 (sealed bids due June 24, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce across over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). The code's mismatch to actual purchasing signals that either the UNSPSC tagging is systematically incorrect at source, or the code has been reinterpreted to encompass institutional food service broadly rather than the specific frozen-raisin commodity its name denotes.
