UNSPSC 50323445: Dried italia grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323445 Dried Italia Grapes is a Commodity code covering dehydrated raisin-type grape products procured by state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public food services. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers purchasing dried grapes as components of broader food supply contracts serving cafeteria operations, rather than as standalone specialty items; the code appears in school nutrition RFPs and prison kitchen commodity procurements alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and staple foods. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments of corrections (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement divisions acting as central purchasing agents for multiple public agencies.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of produce for three school delivery locations. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for commodities to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026, encompassing 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to supply multiple TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas, with an extended due date of May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid IW236532) for whole, pitted, dried prunes in 60–70 count size, U.S. Grade B quality, in 25-pound boxes with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes demonstrates dried-fruit procurement within institutional food service. All solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions, USDA compliance and grade certification, HACCP or equivalent food-safety documentation, and delivery to designated public facilities on firm-fixed pricing over one-year contract terms.
