UNSPSC 50323470: Dried queen grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323470 Dried queen grapes is a Commodity code that names a narrow product category within dried fruit offerings for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct demand for dried queen grapes specifically; instead, school districts and corrections agencies procure dried fruits and fresh produce as part of broader food-supply contracts that encompass dozens of commodity line items. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 seeking fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year across over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, root vegetables, melons, and citrus; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for its Board of Education Nutrition Center, due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) procures dried fruits including whole pitted prunes as discrete line items within larger cafeteria food-product IFBs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school district nutrition programs and corrections agencies operating statewide procurement divisions. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content are standard across these contracts, and vendors must provide HACCP plans, USDA grade certifications, and compliance documentation.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and mid-Atlantic regions, with recent postings from Georgia (Hancock County Schools and the State of Georgia), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Texas (TDCJ). The Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF, issued May 4, 2026, exemplifies the category: it called for approximately 382 food line items including dried fruits, proteins, dairy, and staples with firm fixed pricing and FOB Destination delivery to six TDCJ distribution points. The TDCJ prunes solicitation (IW236532, posted April 23, 2026, with a revised due date of February 20, 2026) specified 1,400 boxes minimum of U.S. Grade B pitted prunes at 60-70 count size, suggesting that dried fruits move through these channels as managed commodities with detailed grade and packaging specifications. No recent state or local opportunity posted under this code explicitly named dried queen grapes as a distinct line item, indicating that demand, if present, is embedded within broader fruit-procurement contracts rather than solicited as a standalone commodity.
