UNSPSC 50323438: Dried flame seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323438 Dried flame seedless grapes, a Commodity code, encompasses dried grape products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional foodservice operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state corrections departments sourcing dried raisins and specialty dried fruit as components of larger fresh and processed produce contracts rather than as standalone line items. When dried grapes appear in state and local solicitations, they are typically embedded within broad commodities RFQs or IFBs that also specify fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples for cafeteria operations. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, city school nutrition centers, state departments of corrections, and state purchasing divisions acting on behalf of multiple institutional customers. School districts dominate the recent activity, with contracts spanning full school years (July through June cycles) and requiring compliance with Buy American provisions mandating minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, HACCP food safety plans, and delivery to multiple school sites within tight geographic radii.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all posted solicitations between May and June 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items and delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with 382 line items and responses extended to May 4, 2026, serving five geographic distribution areas across Texas through August 31, 2027 with optional renewals; and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut commodities bid BNB053266 (electronic submission through OpenGov, due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items for delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center. The code shows limited standalone recent activity; dried seedless grapes compete as commodity components within larger institutional food solicitations rather than as discrete procurement vehicles.
