UNSPSC 50323462: Dried new cross grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323462 Dried new cross grapes is a Commodity code encompassing raisins and other dried grape products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services. Recent solicitations show school districts purchasing dried raisins as bulk staple items for cafeteria supply, most often bundled within broader fresh-produce or grocery-commodity RFPs rather than as standalone line items. The code sees consistent demand from K-12 school nutrition programs across multiple states, along with procurement from county corrections departments. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia), regional school cooperatives (Douglas County School System acting for a 30-district GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia), state departments of criminal justice (Texas TDCJ, California County of Santa Clara corrections), and state departments of education (Georgia). No single jurisdiction appears as a dominant repeat buyer; instead, the code shows distributed demand across state-level and local school-district procurement offices nationwide.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with additional procurement activity in Virginia, Missouri, California, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 produce line items with no isolated raisin line; Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) explicitly requesting 5,880 cases annually of dried raisins in 150-count individual packets meeting Title 15 California nutritional specs; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia districts (proposals due March 4, 2026) covering 72 produce items with estimated Area One spend of $4.4 million; and Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for over 900 grocery items (bids due April 29, 2026) requiring firm pricing for the July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 contract term. Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and USDA compliance, HACCP plans, and food-safety certifications appear consistently across all school nutrition RFPs and IFBs. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with one to four renewal options at the buyer's discretion, and all pricing must remain firm for the contract period with delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses on FOB Destination terms.
