UNSPSC 50343647: Frozen ruby cabernet grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343647 Frozen ruby cabernet grapes, a Commodity code, does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty frozen fruit—appears misaligned with what state and local jurisdictions are actually buying. Across the recent-opportunities block, state and local governments solicit food service items for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child care programs in high volume; none of the 25 posted opportunities specifically names frozen ruby cabernet grapes or specialty frozen grape varieties. The opportunities span comprehensive grocery and produce categories, frozen foods, fresh produce, ice cream, dried fruits, nuts, and related supplies—but the narrow commodity code does not surface in active procurement. When state and local food service programs do procure frozen fruit, they typically bundle it within broader frozen-food or produce family codes rather than isolating a single specialty grape variety.

The issuing bodies in the active food-service and produce procurement landscape include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Texas DSHS), county school boards (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Fulton County, Decatur in Georgia; Rockwood in Missouri), city school systems (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Hillsborough County in Florida), county correction and detention facilities (Santa Clara County, California), state-operated residential facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections), Head Start agencies, and state departments (New Jersey Department of Human Services, Georgia). The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, and the Southeast, with secondary activity in California, Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey. Representative current opportunities—such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for school year 2027 (bids due June 26, 2026)—demonstrate commodity-level demand but do not isolate frozen specialty grapes. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and vendors pursuing food-service supply contracts in state and local procurement should track broader frozen-food and produce family codes rather than this narrowly defined commodity.
