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, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of specialty dried fruit products for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facility cafeterias. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried fruit as components of broader fresh and processed produce contracts rather than as standalone line items, though the code's scope reflects the universe of dried grape and similar exotic dried-fruit procurement. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state procurement divisions (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and municipal purchasing offices sourcing for school nutrition centers. The work spans commodity sourcing for K–12 meal programs and institutional food service delivery under Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, encompassing over 200 line items and three delivery locations. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities by IFB (BNB053266) due June 26, 2026 for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, covering 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products with MBE/CBE applicability. The Texas Comptroller issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on behalf of TDCJ for cafeteria food products with approximately 382 line items across five geographic areas, with a May 4, 2026 response deadline following addendum extension. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also solicited whole, pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, with a February 20, 2026 amended due date. All contracts require USDA compliance, firm fixed pricing, and 24–7 recall accessibility or backup stock provisions.
