UNSPSC 50323458: Dried muscat grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323458 Dried muscat grapes is a Commodity code that captures procurement of specialty dried fruit products by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts and county agencies purchasing dried grapes as part of broader fresh and dried produce portfolios—sometimes within larger grocery or produce contracts that bundle commodity items, and occasionally as standalone line items within mixed dried-fruit procurements. The code reflects demand from K-12 nutrition programs serving daily meal volumes in the tens of thousands, plus correctional facilities operating year-round food service operations. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), county school systems, state agencies, and county correctional departments. Most solicitations employ IFB or RFP notice types and require firm fixed pricing for annual contract terms, compliance with USDA and Buy American standards, and delivery to multiple school or facility locations on schedules ranging from weekly to on-demand.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and the broader Southeast, with secondary presence in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Texas. Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Georgia IFB for fresh produce SY27 with response due June 26, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia bid for fresh produce, response April 23, 2026), County of Santa Clara (California ITB for dried fruits and nuts including raisins and other dried items, response February 5, 2026), and Douglas County School System (Georgia RFP for fresh produce and eggs through GEC Buying Cooperative, response March 4, 2026). Dried muscat grapes appear most explicitly in mixed dried-fruit solicitations tied to correctional food service and school nutrition snack programs; standalone grapes procurement is minimal in the recent-opportunities window. Most districts pair dried-fruit procurement with broader fresh-produce or master-grocery contracts, indicating grapes compete for shelf space within larger commodity baskets rather than driving standalone awards.
