UNSPSC 50323463 Dried niabell grapes is a Commodity code representing dried grape products procured by state and local school districts and correctional agencies for food-service operations. The recent solicitation activity shows that state and local governments under this code are buying dried fruits — including prunes, raisins, and specialty dried fruits — as ingredients and meal components for institutional cafeteria and nutrition operations. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), which use dried fruit products as part of standardized commodity procurement for bulk food supply to multiple facility locations. Vendors responding to these solicitations must meet USDA grade and quality certifications, comply with Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic content for processed products under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act), maintain HACCP food-safety plans where required, carry appropriate commercial general liability insurance, and deliver on firm-fixed pricing with transportation and packing included.
