UNSPSC 50323400: Dried table grapes

The type of grape known as table grapes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323400 Dried table grapes is a Class code covering dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show that school districts and state agencies are buying dried fruits—including dried prunes, raisins, and related dried fruit commodities—as components of broader food-service contracts. The Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce solicitation for the 2026–27 school year and the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid for the Board of Education Nutrition Center both encompass fresh and processed fruit items within larger nutrition programs, though neither lists dried table grapes explicitly in the available summaries. School districts and state departments of criminal justice dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from municipal education departments. Buyers enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products and mandate HACCP plans, food safety certifications, E-Verify authorization, and comprehensive liability insurance. Contract terms typically run one to two years with firm fixed pricing and delivery to multiple institutional locations.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a solicitation in April 2026 (IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes at U.S. Grade B quality in specific packaging with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for delivery to a Corpus Christi location, with a February 2026 response deadline (since passed). The Georgia Department of Education posted a food supplies bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026, and Hancock County Schools in Georgia sought fresh produce including multiple fruit varieties under IFB #SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026. These solicitations indicate steady demand for fruit products in institutional nutrition programs, though the code shows limited standalone dried-grape opportunities in the recent record; dried fruit procurement typically appears as line items within broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone categorical buys.
