UNSPSC 50343630: Frozen mission grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343630 Frozen mission grapes, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity focused on frozen fruit as a component of broader food-service solicitations rather than as a standalone product line. State and local governments procure frozen grapes under this code primarily as part of institutional food-supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child care programs, where they appear as one line item among hundreds in comprehensive grocery or produce bids. The issuing bodies span school districts (independent districts, county boards of education, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles), state health and human services agencies, detention facilities, and Head Start organizations. Frozen grapes appear occasionally in nutrition programs subject to USDA requirements, including the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with vendors required to meet nutrition standards, food safety certifications (HACCP, GAP certification where applicable), and labeling requirements including nutrition facts and CN labels.

Recent opportunities show frozen fruit categories—including berries, specialty fruits, and mixed frozen produce—solicited across Texas, Georgia, Florida, California, Connecticut, New Jersey, Missouri, and Oregon, with the largest volumes appearing in Texas state hospital and supported living center procurements and in multi-school-district cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (FY27 groceries for Big Spring State Hospital, bids due July 27, 2026) and HHS0017449 (food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center, bids due July 11, 2026), both seeking frozen foods including specialty items across multiple line items with firm fixed pricing; the Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program produce delivery (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000); and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen fruit berries (April 23, 2026, approximately 40,000 pounds estimated at $35,600 historical value). Frozen grapes specifically do not appear as a standalone commodity in posted solicitations; frozen berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, Marion berries) are the dominant frozen fruit line items, with occasional references to mixed frozen fruits or specialty frozen produce blends. Activity is fragmented across states with no single jurisdiction or cooperative purchasing vehicle dominating the code.
