UNSPSC 50343636: Frozen nebbiolo grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343636 Frozen nebbiolo grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity shown in recent solicitations. The code nominally refers to a specialty wine grape varietal, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly solicit broad grocery procurement for schools, hospitals, detention facilities, and child care programs—spanning proteins, frozen vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, bakery items, beverages, and food service supplies—rather than specialty grapes for viticulture or wine production. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomic miscategorization in the underlying procurement database or that the code is being applied to high-level family or segment-level commodity aggregations rather than the specific frozen nebbiolo grape line item its name denotes. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit frozen nebbiolo grapes or similar specialty frozen grape products.

The active procurement under this code (or its broader family) covers food service for state institutions, school districts, counties, and special-purpose entities across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, California, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school boards in Hancock, Early, Bulloch, Savannah-Chatham, Fulton, Henry, Douglas, Bridgeport, and Decatur, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Head Start of Greater Dallas, County of Santa Clara, and Oregon Department of Corrections all posted recent IFBs and RFPs for food products between January and July 2026, with response deadlines ranging from early February through late July. Representative solicitations include Texas HHS IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), Bridgeport Board of Education BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of breakfast items, frozen products, vegetables, and meats (due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026), and County of Santa Clara ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts for the county jail (due February 5, 2026). These solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, food recall capability, liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and firm fixed pricing over one-year terms with renewal options. Given the code's nominal specificity and the absence of actual frozen grape procurement in the dataset, this code shows little relevant recent activity for specialty grape suppliers.
