UNSPSC 50323437: Dried flame grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323437 Dried flame grapes is a Commodity code covering dried grape products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct procurement activity under this specific code. State and local school districts, state departments, and correctional agencies constitute the primary issuing bodies purchasing fresh produce and processed food items for cafeteria operations. The scope of work encompasses perishable and shelf-stable food commodities—fresh produce in weekly or monthly standing orders, and dried fruits including prunes as components of broader food-service procurement. Most opportunities target school nutrition programs operating under the Buy American Provision of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, which requires a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products. Vendors must provide HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, nutritional analyses, USDA compliance certification, proof of state health inspection records, and comprehensive insurance coverage with amounts ranging from $500,000 to $1 million in commercial general liability. Delivery is FOB destination to designated institutional locations, with firm fixed pricing and advance appointment scheduling required.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, with response due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple varieties and three school delivery sites for the 2026–27 school year. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products via IFB with a June 26, 2026 deadline for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026, with full scope in attached documentation. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, with the response deadline extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026, and Bid No. IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes in 60–70 count size requiring U.S. Grade B certification, originally due February 20, 2026. Dried flame grapes specifically appear absent from recent posted opportunities; the closest related procurement is the prunes solicitation from TDCJ, suggesting limited current-market activity under this precise commodity code.
