UNSPSC 50323424: Dried concord seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323424 Dried concord seedless grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow food commodity that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and county corrections departments purchasing dried grapes and related dried fruits — raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends — as shelf-stable components in student meal programs and inmate nutrition services. The code aligns with broader dried-fruit procurement activity captured under larger grocery and food supply contracts, where dried fruits appear as line items within multi-category solicitations rather than as standalone acquisitions.

School districts across Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and California dominate the recent issuing-body mix, with Douglas County Schools in Georgia, Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI Schools in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System each actively soliciting food supply contracts that include dried fruit components. The County of Santa Clara in California issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts to supply a correctional facility, requesting five line items including dried raisins and dried cranberries on an all-or-none basis with 5,880 cases of raisins and 1,000 cases of cranberries annually. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also procured dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) in U.S. Grade B quality with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for a single delivery location. Geographic concentration runs heaviest in Georgia and California, with secondary activity in Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia. Most recent school nutrition solicitations treat dried fruits as components within broader annual grocery contracts running July 1 through June 30 with firm fixed pricing and renewal options, rather than as specialty procurements, and all carry Buy American or domestic-sourcing requirements under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.
