UNSPSC 50323434: Dried exotic grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323434 Dried exotic grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses dried fruit products, including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends, procured by state and local food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and correctional facilities are the primary buyers, soliciting dried fruits as component items within broader food service contracts rather than as standalone procurement categories. The code sees activity primarily from school nutrition programs serving K-12 populations and county correctional food services, with solicitations structured as part of larger annual grocery or specialty produce agreements that emphasize USDA compliance, firm fixed pricing for full contract terms, and strict nutritional specifications limiting added sugars and calories from fat.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, California, and Missouri. The County of Santa Clara, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix to support the Sheriff's Department correctional facility food services, with bids due February 5, 2026, structured as a five-year contract with Year 1 firm pricing and optional annual increases capped by the bidder. Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026) included dried fruits within a $9 million food supply and distribution procurement for 25,500 students. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (posted March 31, 2026) solicited over 900 grocery line items including dried fruits and nuts for the 2026-27 school year with bids due April 29, 2026. These procurements require vendors to meet Buy American provisions, maintain commercial general liability insurance of $1 million or higher, comply with USDA food safety standards including HACCP protocols, and deliver on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges permitted. Delivery windows are consistently restricted to business hours Monday through Friday, and vendors must demonstrate multiple years of experience serving public institutions.
