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 that encompasses specialty dried fruit products procured primarily by school nutrition programs and correctional facilities for meal service and inmate nutrition. State and local governments buy dried flame grapes and similar dried fruit items as ingredient components within broader school lunch and correctional food service contracts, though the source records show no solicitations explicitly isolated to dried flame grapes as a standalone line item. Instead, recent activity reflects dried fruit procurement embedded within comprehensive food service, produce, and specialty provisions bids—such as the County of Santa Clara's January 2026 ITB for dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix serving the Department of Correction, or school districts' annual nutrition program contracts that occasionally specify dried fruit components alongside fresh produce and staple items.

Issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District) and state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, County of Santa Clara's Department of Correction). School districts dominate the market, soliciting dried fruit as part of master grocery, fresh produce, or comprehensive food supply contracts with response deadlines typically in April through June. Geographic spread centers on Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (January 28, 2026; due February 5, 2026) for 5,880 cases of dried raisins annually and 3,000 cases of dried tropical fruit mix at Elmwood Correctional Facility, and multiple Georgia school district RFPs issued through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative that include dried fruit within broader produce and staple procurement scopes. No recent opportunities isolate dried flame grapes as a named commodity; pursuit under this code requires participation in larger food service supply agreements where dried fruit appears as a component line item or optional add-on.
