UNSPSC 50323410: Dried black beauty seedless grapes

The variety of table grapes known as black beauty seedless grapes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323410 Dried black beauty seedless grapes, a Commodity code, does not match the scope of work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a single dried fruit variety—appears in no recent opportunity summaries; instead, dried fruits and nuts are being procured as minor line items within much larger school nutrition and institutional food service contracts that encompass hundreds of diverse products spanning proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and prepared entrees. The Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff's dried fruits and nuts solicitation (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) represents the closest match, specifying dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix as five all-or-none line items alongside walnuts and pecans; however, dried black beauty seedless grapes are not mentioned. School districts across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas are issuing IFBs and RFPs for annual school nutrition contracts that treat dried fruits as incidental to much broader commodity procurement—referenced generically as produce, fruit items, or snack components rather than discrete dried-fruit varieties. The issuing-body mix reflects standard school nutrition procurement: county and independent school districts (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), city boards of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut), state departments (Georgia), and state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department). No opportunities in the block target dried black beauty seedless grapes as a named procurement need.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and California, with school nutrition procurement dominating the sample. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' Fresh Produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) spanning 200+ line items with no dried-grape specification; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026, after extension from April 21) covering 382 line items across protein, dairy, and commodity staples; and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement (due April 29, 2026) encompassing 900+ items with dried fruits mentioned only as part of snack categories. The Douglas County School System's consolidated fresh-produce RFP issued through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) specified 72 produce line items with estimated spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million across two geographic areas serving 30 school districts, yet made no reference to dried black beauty seedless grapes. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal commodity designation.
