UNSPSC 50343600: Frozen wine grapes

The type of grape known as wine grapes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50343600 Frozen wine grapes is a Class code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted against it. The source contains no opportunities seeking frozen wine grapes; instead, all twenty posted opportunities solicit broad food and grocery procurement spanning fresh produce, frozen vegetables and fruits, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, ice cream, and consumable supplies for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, Head Start and child care programs, and correctional and state hospital facilities. The code's nominal scope—a single specialty agricultural commodity—diverges sharply from the actual work being procured, which involves comprehensive food service supply contracts covering dozens to hundreds of line items across multiple product categories delivered on recurring schedules to multiple facility locations.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Bulloch County, Rockwood R-VI, Fulton County, Douglas County, and Hillsborough County), state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC and Oregon Department of Corrections), Head Start organizations, and county government food service operations (Santa Clara County). Geographic spread covers California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Texas, with the highest concentration in Georgia school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017660, due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's grocery procurement for school food service (BID BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative supporting 30 school districts (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). These contracts typically require firm fixed pricing, multiple delivery locations, USDA compliance and Buy American provisions, comprehensive food safety and recall procedures, and insurance coverage ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000. The activity signals substantial, recurring procurement demand in school nutrition and institutional food service, but the specific code assignment appears to be a taxonomic mismatch rather than an active category for frozen wine grapes themselves.
