UNSPSC 50323454: Dried malaga grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323454 Dried malaga grapes, a Commodity code, encompasses dried fruit products that state and local school districts and correctional agencies procure for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show that this code captures purchases of dried fruits—including prunes, raisins, and similar items—for cafeteria and institutional nutrition programs. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state correctional departments; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Georgia appear as active buyers. School nutrition programs are the largest segment, with districts such as Hancock County Schools (Georgia) and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) soliciting fresh and dried produce to supply multiple school sites. State prison systems also bid regularly for dried fruits as stable, shelf-stable protein and nutrient supplements for inmate meal services.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF in May 2026 for cafeteria food products with response due May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items and requiring delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas; the same agency separately solicited whole, pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes of 25 pounds each to a Corpus Christi location, with the response deadline of February 20, 2026. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce under solicitation PE67080NONST2027000000013 with response due June 26, 2026, though that notice emphasizes fresh produce across multiple categories rather than dried fruits specifically. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases sought commodities for school nutrition on June 26, 2026 (IFB BNB053266). All school nutrition solicitations require Buy American compliance with a minimum 51 percent domestic ingredient threshold for processed products and mandate HACCP plans, food safety certifications, and delivery to multiple sites within firm-fixed pricing structures for twelve-month contract periods.
