UNSPSC 50323402: Dried almeria grapes

The variety of table grapes known as almeria grapes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323402 Dried almeria grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement record shows no solicitations actively seeking dried almeria grapes specifically. The code does not align with the current purchasing activity being tagged under it; recent opportunities listed under this code are actually for broad fresh produce, dried fruits, and food service supply contracts serving school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. Dried almeria grapes—a specialty dried fruit product—do not appear as a distinct line item in any of the solicitations reviewed, which focus instead on commodity staples (apples, bananas, berries, carrots, potatoes, leafy greens, citrus), proteins, grains, dairy, and miscellaneous prepared foods. The mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement scope suggests that state and local purchasing offices are either applying this code too broadly to general produce and food supply categories or that dried almeria grapes are occasionally bundled within larger "dried fruits" procurements but do not drive independent solicitation activity.

The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia; Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia), one municipal entity (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), one state agency (State of Georgia), one correctional system (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and one county sheriff's detention facility (Santa Clara County, California). Activity is heaviest in Georgia school districts and spans IFBs and RFPs with response dates between February and June 2026. Geographic concentration appears in Georgia, with additional activity in Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, California, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026, for 200-plus line items across multiple produce categories with delivery to three school sites; the County of Santa Clara's ITB due February 5, 2026, for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) to support correctional food services; and Douglas County School System's RFP due February 18, 2026, for food supply and distribution to 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual spend of $9 million. No UNSPSC-specific set-asides or preferences were identified across the solicitations. Vendors should verify actual line-item inclusion before pursuing contracts tagged under this code, as the mismatch between code description and scope suggests procurement offices may be misclassifying or over-applying the category.
