UNSPSC 50323416: Dried black seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323416 Dried black seedless grapes is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement of dried fruit products for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies purchasing dried fruit as components of broader fresh and processed produce contracts, though the code itself names a specific dried-grape commodity rather than the full spectrum of dried fruit. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases are soliciting fresh produce and processed food items for school nutrition centers, while the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is procuring cafeteria food products for correctional facilities across multiple locations. These buying bodies source produce and food staples through annual or multi-year fixed-price contracts with firm pricing over the contract term, delivery to designated institutional sites, Buy American compliance mandates (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), and requirements for HACCP plans, vendor references, and compliance certifications.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school districts representing the dominant issuing-body type. Hancock County Schools issued IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 due date and contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the City of Bridgeport issued BNB053266 for commodities including 115 line items of food products with electronic submission due June 26, 2026 and term through June 30, 2027; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of TDCJ for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, with response due May 4, 2026 and initial contract term through August 31, 2027. The source shows no solicitations specifically naming dried black seedless grapes as a standalone line item; the code appears underutilized in recent state and local activity relative to the broader dried-fruit and processed-food categories under which school districts and correction agencies are actively procuring.
