UNSPSC 50323419: Dried cardinal grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323419 Dried cardinal grapes (Commodity) covers dried grape products procured by state and local governments, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this code is sparse and does not clearly reflect dried cardinal grapes as a standalone procurement category. The recent opportunities tagged to this code primarily target fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared food items for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities rather than dried specialty fruits. School districts and state agencies managing food service operations are the primary issuing bodies, typically bundling dried or specialty fruit items within broader commodity RFPs that emphasize domestically sourced ingredients and compliance with the Buy American Provision under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, which requires a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response date, encompassing over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, and specialty items delivered to three school locations; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted an IFB for school nutrition commodities (115 line items, June 26, 2026 deadline) requiring MBE/CBE certification under city ordinance; the State of Georgia posted a broader food supplies RFB on May 15, 2026 with a June 22 deadline; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division) issued an IFB for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items with a May 4, 2026 deadline. The code shows minimal direct procurement of dried cardinal grapes specifically, suggesting this Commodity tier designation may misalign with current state and local buying patterns in this product family.
