UNSPSC 50323407: Dried baresana grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323407 Dried baresana grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses dried grape products procured primarily by school districts and state agencies for institutional food service and nutrition programs. Recent state and local opportunities show that this code captures not solely baresana varieties but a broader dried-fruit category used in cafeteria menus, kitchen preparation, and dietary staple sourcing for education and correctional facilities. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state procurement divisions (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and correctional institutions. These jurisdictions solicit dried fruits and dried produce as components of larger food-service contracts that also include fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty items. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations. Vendors must typically provide HACCP plans, USDA compliance documentation, nutritional analyses, and comprehensive liability insurance, often with the issuing body named as additional insured.

Activity appears concentrated in the South and Southwest, with recent opportunities posted by Georgia (State of Georgia and Hancock County Schools), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Texas (TDCJ). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026 at 12:00 p.m., spanning over 200 line items of fresh and dried produce for school-year 2026–27 delivery to three school locations); the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center commodities bid (posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products via electronic submission through OpenGov); the State of Georgia food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, details in attached solicitation document); and the Texas Comptroller's TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB No. 304T-26-300CF (posted May 4, 2026, originally due April 21, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Central Time, covering approximately 382 line items for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points with contract term through August 31, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewals).
