UNSPSC 50323466: Dried perlette grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323466 Dried perlette grapes is a Commodity code covering dried grape products sourced for institutional food service, with recent school district and correctional-facility procurement activities demonstrating demand for this item as part of broader fresh and processed produce supply contracts. State and local governments are procuring dried grapes primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food services, where they appear as line items within larger IFBs for cafeteria and nutrition center supply. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state-level procurement on behalf of correctional facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and state nutrition or food-service departments. Contracts typically require Buy American compliance with a minimum of 51 percent domestic content for processed products, HACCP certification or equivalent food-safety protocols, firm fixed pricing for the contract period, and delivery to multiple institutional locations on predetermined schedules.

Recent activity shows school districts and state correctional agencies in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas soliciting dried and fresh produce under IFBs with response dates in late June 2026. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh and processed produce for the 2026-27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted an IFB on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for 115 commodity line items including fruits and vegetables for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF with an extended due date of May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 food line items for delivery to six TDCJ warehouse locations. A separate TDCJ bid (IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes with a February 20, 2026 due date demonstrates direct procurement of dried fruit products at the commodity level. Contracts run typically from July through June in school contexts and through August in correctional settings, with pricing firm for the duration unless major market changes occur and approved by the purchasing entity.
