UNSPSC 50343642: Frozen pinot noir grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343642 Frozen pinot noir grapes is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not see material solicitation volume. The code's nominal scope—specialty frozen grape varieties—diverges sharply from the actual work being purchased under codes tagged in state and local nutrition and food service contracts. Recent opportunities in the source block are instead tagged with this code but solicited bulk grocery, produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for institutional food service: school districts, state health and human services agencies, county corrections, and Head Start programs buy frozen vegetables, fruits, ice cream novelties, eggs, fresh produce, dried fruits and nuts, and comprehensive food supplies—not frozen pinot noir grapes in any form. The issuing bodies span state health agencies (Texas HHSC for state hospitals and supported living centers), school districts (Hancock County Georgia, Bulloch County Georgia, Rockwood Missouri, Savannah-Chatham Georgia, Henry County Georgia, Early County Georgia, City Schools of Decatur Georgia, Fulton County Georgia, and others), county school systems (Douglas County Georgia), Head Start programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas), municipal public schools (Bridgeport Connecticut), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County California), and state corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections).

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia (Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch, Henry County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Fulton County, Douglas County), Texas (HHSC state hospitals and supported living centers, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and extended single-bid activity in Connecticut, Missouri, California, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), requesting approximately 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and packaging with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; Bridgeport Connecticut's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's National School Lunch Program (due June 30, 2026, closed); and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for primary, secondary, and tertiary food suppliers serving approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat meeting CACFP standards (due June 24, 2026, with total estimated value of $969,460.94). This code shows low direct relevance to frozen specialty wine grapes and appears to be a misclassification in state and local procurement systems.
