UNSPSC 50323467: Dried perlon grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323467 Dried perlon grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses dried grape products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The recent state and local opportunities under this code show that purchasing entities are acquiring dried fruits — including raisins, cranberries, and mixed dried fruit products — to supply food service operations at schools and detention facilities. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia) and county correction departments (Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff in California). School nutrition programs dominate the procurement activity, with districts soliciting fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and dried fruit products as components of broader annual nutrition contracts under the USDA National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program frameworks. Correctional facilities procure dried fruits and nuts for inmate food service. All Buy American provisions apply where the scope includes processed food products.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with multiple school districts (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County) issuing solicitations for fresh produce and grocery items in the first half of 2026. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office (California) issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts, requiring five line items on an all-or-none basis including 5,880 cases of dried raisins annually and 1,000 cases each of dried cranberries and tropical fruit mix, with bids due February 5, 2026. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative in February 2026 covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across two Georgia regions, with proposals due March 4, 2026 and estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 in April 2026 for Master Grocery K-12 services across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, with sealed bids due April 27, 2026. School districts generally require firm fixed pricing for twelve months, weekly or scheduled deliveries to multiple school sites between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., compliance with USDA nutrition standards and Buy American provisions, and three years of prior food service experience from vendors.
