UNSPSC 50343649: Frozen sangiovese grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343649 Frozen sangiovese grapes (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's specific scope. The sourced opportunities span grocery procurement for institutional food service—state hospitals, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities—but the solicitations name frozen sangiovese grapes only incidentally if at all. Instead, the opportunities track frozen berries, dried fruits, fresh produce, comprehensive grocery bundles, and ice cream as the dominant line items under related UNSPSC classes. When frozen fruit appears in these bids, the language covers "frozen fruit berries" (individually quick frozen blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, Marion berries) or generic frozen fruits within larger produce categories, not the vintage or varietal specificity implied by sangiovese grapes. The issuing bodies are mixed—Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state institutional food service), county boards of education across Georgia (school nutrition), school districts in multiple states (Missouri, Florida, Connecticut), Head Start agencies, county sheriffs, and correctional facilities. Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Florida for school food procurement, with isolated activity in California, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and New Jersey.

Recent representative opportunities illustrate the gap between the code name and actual procurement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017660 on July 13, 2026, for groceries across 110 line items at Big Spring State Hospital with responses due July 27, 2026; the prior year's spend was $32,226.36 on unspecified items, with NIGP classes 375-15, 380-30, and 385-30/42/47/48/95 spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, beverages, and service packaging—no frozen sangiovese. Similarly, the City of Bridgeport issued RFB for over 1,100 grocery line items on June 30, 2026, for school food service with Buy American and HHFKA compliance; Head Start of Greater Dallas sought primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers of frozen foods, produce, and meat covering approximately 32,409 cases at an estimated $969,460.94 value with response due June 24, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) bid fresh produce with over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, specialty items) on June 26, 2026. None of these opportunities name frozen sangiovese grapes as a line item or specify wine-grape varieties. The code sees no focused activity supporting a business development pursuit at this time.
