UNSPSC 50343610: Frozen charbono grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as charbono grapes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50343610 Frozen charbono grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under this code. The single recent opportunity explicitly soliciting under 50343610 is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), which spans approximately 110 line items including proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and food service packaging—none of which are frozen charbono grapes. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a tagging error or that frozen charbono grapes represent a negligible line item within broad food service contracts that are classified under more general commodity codes. No state or local body has recently issued a solicitation specifically for frozen charbono grapes as a primary procurement.

The broader food and grocery procurement activity tagged in the source reflects consistent demand across state institutional facilities, school districts, and social services agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school boards (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Henry County, Fulton County, Decatur), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Head Start of Greater Dallas, Missouri school districts, and correctional and detention facilities across multiple states are actively soliciting food service supplies through IFBs and RFPs with response dates spanning February through July 2026. Recent awards and solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions for processed foods (minimum 51 percent domestic content), nutrition standards alignment with federal school meal and USDA programs, and multi-year contract terms with renewal options. No concentrated repeat activity targeting frozen charbono grapes specifically is evident; if pursuing this code, focus should remain on broad food service distributor relationships with institutional buyers rather than specialty fruit procurement.
