UNSPSC 50323418: Dried calmeria grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323418 Dried calmeria grapes (Commodity) covers dried grape products supplied to state and local food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and institutional cafeterias. Recent solicitations show school districts and state corrections departments procuring dried grapes as components of broader fresh and dried produce or commodity food packages rather than as standalone line items, bundled with proteins, vegetables, grains, and specialty food products for meal preparation and distribution.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut both soliciting fresh produce and commodity food packages in June 2026 under IFBs with June 26, 2026 response dates; the State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice also solicited food and kitchen products and cafeteria food items in May and June 2026. Geographic activity centers on the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut) and Texas. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce across over 200 line items spanning apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruit for delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027, with Buy American requirements mandating 51 percent domestic content for processed products. The City of Bridgeport issued IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, for 115 line items of commodities including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027, also with Buy American compliance and MBE/CBE certifications required under city ordinance. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous staples for six TDCJ distribution points, with responses originally due April 21, 2026, extended to May 4, 2026. Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and firm-fixed pricing through contract periods are standard requirements across these solicitations.
