UNSPSC 50323443: Dried gold grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323443 Dried gold grapes, a Commodity code, covers dried fruit products procured by state and local governments for nutrition programs, institutional food service, and meal preparation. State and local school districts and correctional departments are the primary buyers under this code, soliciting dried fruit as standalone commodity line items or as part of broader fresh and processed produce aggregations for cafeteria, nutrition center, and inmate feeding operations. The work involves supplying dried fruit meeting USDA grade standards, packaging specifications, and nutritional requirements; vendors must typically provide grade certificates, HACCP plans where applicable, and compliance documentation under the Buy American provision of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act and related procurement regulations.

Recent activity shows school nutrition programs and state correctional systems across the South and Southwest soliciting dried fruit. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count size, 25-pound boxes) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for delivery in Corpus Christi, due February 20, 2026. The same agency issued a broader IFB (304T-26-300CF) on May 4, 2026, for approximately 382 cafeteria food line items across five Texas warehouse locations, spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and fresh and canned fruits and vegetables with firm fixed pricing and FOB Destination delivery through August 31, 2027. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for over 200 fresh produce line items (including multiple apple and berry varieties, vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits) for delivery to three school locations, due June 26, 2026, with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, due June 26, 2026, with contract through June 30, 2027. These opportunities reflect sustained demand from institutional nutrition buyers in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut under standard IFB and procurement portal workflows.
