UNSPSC 50323432: Dried emperor grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323432 Dried emperor grapes, a Commodity code, represents dried fruit products procured by state and local education and corrections agencies to supply school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing dried fruits as commodity ingredients—not as standalone retail products—embedded within broader food-service RFPs and IFBs that span proteins, produce, grains, and prepared items. The code sees activity primarily from school districts and state corrections departments issuing nutrition procurement solicitations. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice represent the issuing bodies in the recent opportunity block, all soliciting food commodities for institutional meal service under IFB and sealed-bid mechanisms with Buy American compliance requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and firm fixed pricing for multi-year contract terms.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with response due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce across 200+ line items delivered to three school sites through June 30, 2027; the City of Bridgeport issued its commodity bid (BNB053266) on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, 2026, for 115 line items including produce delivered to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center; the State of Georgia posted a food supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, extending the response deadline via addendum to May 4, 2026, for 382 line items across five geographic warehouse zones through August 31, 2027. A standalone dried-prunes procurement by TDCJ (Bid No. IW236532) posted April 23, 2026, with a revised due date of February 20, 2026, specifies U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60–70 count size with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes to the Corpus location. All contracts require HACCP plans, USDA compliance, liability insurance, and compliance with state and federal food safety standards.
