UNSPSC 50323451: Dried lady finger grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323451 Dried lady finger grapes (Commodity) appears in recent state and local school nutrition and institutional foodservice procurement, though the code itself rarely surfaces in posted solicitations — the recent activity uses broader fresh produce or commodities codes rather than this dried-fruit-specific designation. When the code does apply, state and local buyers seek dried grape products for school lunch programs and correctional facility cafeterias, typically bundled with other produce, proteins, and specialty food items in larger procurement packages. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and correctional authorities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School nutrition procurement dominates the visible activity, driven by federal Buy American provisions under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products.

Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases requested commodities bids for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026, submitted through OpenGov e-procurement); and the State of Georgia released a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026) with detailed scope in an attached PDF. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations (originally due April 21, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 food line items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce. A separate TDCJ solicitation (Bid IW236532) sought whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60-70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for delivery to the Corpus location (originally due February 18, 2026, amended to February 20, 2026). Vendors typically must comply with USDA grading, provide HACCP plans or equivalent safety certifications, demonstrate E-Verify authorization, and maintain commercial general liability insurance.
