UNSPSC 50323448: Dried king ruby grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323448 Dried king ruby grapes is a Commodity code representing dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and corrections departments sourcing dried fruits as commodity staples for cafeteria operations, though the recent-opportunities block reveals limited activity specifically for dried grapes — most solicitations cast broader nets for fresh produce or mixed food commodities that may include dried fruits within larger line-item arrays rather than as standalone items.

The issuing-body mix spans school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia state procurement, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state corrections departments (TDCJ). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with IFBs for fresh and processed produce typically due in late June for contract years beginning July 1. Recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools (due June 26, 2026, IFB #SN002-2027) and Bridgeport (due June 26, 2026, IFB BNB053266) specify over 200 and 115 line items respectively across produce categories, though neither names dried king ruby grapes explicitly in available summaries. A Texas TDCJ IFB (due May 4, 2026, IFB No. 304T-26-300CF) for cafeteria food products and a separate TDCJ prune procurement (IW236532, due February 20, 2026) indicate dried-fruit procurement by corrections agencies. Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026, PE55645NONST2026000000009) with scope details in an attached 12 MB document not summarized here. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with school-year cycles typically running July through June and RFP/IFB responses clustered in May and June. All solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products and mandate HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and MBE/CBE certifications where applicable.
