UNSPSC 50343656: Frozen syrah grapes

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

UNSPSC 50343656 Frozen syrah grapes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity tagged under it in state and local solicitations. Recent opportunities posted under this code are not buying frozen syrah grapes; instead, they span broad food service procurement for schools, hospitals, correctional facilities, and social services agencies—including proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, frozen entrees, beverages, ice cream, and related food service supplies across multiple categories. The code's nominal designation appears misaligned with how state and local procurement offices are using the tag, suggesting either tagging errors in the underlying data or mission drift in how this commodity code is being applied in practice. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC), county and city school districts across Georgia, Florida, Missouri, and other states, county governments, and special-purpose agencies such as Head Start organizations and correctional facility food services. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary posting activity in California, Missouri, Connecticut, and Oregon.

Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), spanning approximately 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026), covering over 1,100 line items with Buy American provisions and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for grocery products across frozen foods, produce, and meat for child care (due June 24, 2026) with an estimated value of $969,460.94; and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items (due June 26, 2026). All solicitations emphasize firm fixed pricing, HACCP compliance, food safety certifications, liability insurance requirements, and domestic sourcing preferences under Buy American provisions where applicable.
