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, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of processed dried fruit products for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts and county food service operations purchasing dried fruit as a component of broader grocery, produce, or specialized food supply contracts rather than as a standalone line item. The Commodity code sees intermittent activity rather than steady, dedicated procurements for raisins and other dried fruits alone; when dried fruit appears in recent opportunities, it is typically bundled within larger fresh produce, grocery, or food-supply RFPs or IFBs that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple produce and food categories.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies under this code, including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). County governments and regional buying cooperatives also participate—the Douglas County School System issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across Georgia. Santa Clara County's Department of Correction in California issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts. The geographic footprint spans Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and California, with Georgia and school-district nutrition programs showing the heaviest recent concentration. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for Fresh Produce SY27 (due June 26, 2026), which itemized multiple produce categories but did not isolate dried fruits; the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for Dried Fruits and Nuts (due February 5, 2026), requiring raisins, cranberries, dried tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for correctional food service with a five-year contract term and estimated annual quantities of 5,880 to 3,000 cases per item; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs (due March 4, 2026), estimated at $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two but not isolating dried fruit line items. The code shows narrow, episodic demand for dried raisins and other dried fruits as specialty items within larger institutional food procurement rather than high-frequency standalone solicitations.
