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, a Commodity code, encompasses dried grape products procured by state and local jurisdictions primarily for school nutrition and correctional facility food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show that school districts and state corrections departments are the principal buyers under this code, purchasing dried grapes as ingredients within broader fresh and processed produce contracts for cafeteria operations. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) on behalf of its Board of Education Nutrition Center, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice represent the issuing-body mix across recent opportunities—school nutrition programs dominate the activity, supplemented by state-level corrections food service procurement. The work involves supplier qualification to meet USDA grade standards, HACCP and food safety compliance, Buy American provision adherence (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products where applicable), and delivery to multiple institutional food service locations on firm-fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges.

Activity over the past six months concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education commodities bid (due June 26, 2026) represent the most recent school nutrition opportunities, though neither summary explicitly names dried muscat grapes among line items—the former lists fresh produce categories (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, specialty items), and the latter references eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products without item-level detail. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice prunes procurement (IFB No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) is a closer functional match, calling for U.S. Grade B whole pitted dried prunes in 60–70 count size, 25-pound boxes, minimum 1,400 boxes for Delivery Area 1—demonstrating that state corrections systems do solicit individual dried fruit line items. The State of Georgia food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026) provides no item-level visibility. Recent opportunities show Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas as active jurisdictions; no recent opportunities appear in other states within the source block.
