UNSPSC 50323471: Dried red blush grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323471 Dried red blush grapes, a Commodity code, covers dried grape products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. The code captures procurement of dried grapes meeting USDA quality specifications for cafeteria supply chains, with sealed bids submitted to nutrition departments and food service divisions at school districts and state agencies. Recent opportunities show school districts and state corrections agencies soliciting dried fruit alongside broader produce and food commodity bundles — items specified by grade, count size, packaging format, and shelf-life requirements, with vendors required to provide USDA certification and comply with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items). The work is transactional procurement of standardized food inputs rather than value-added processing or consulting.

The code sees recent activity across Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce and specialty items spanning the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, though dried grapes are not explicitly itemized in the posted scope. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center via electronic bid (BNB053266) on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items across protein, dairy, and produce categories. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) issued Bid No. IW236532 on April 23, 2026, for whole pitted dried prunes (60–70 count, Grade B, 1,400-box minimum to the Corpus Christi location), demonstrating active state procurement of dried fruit for institutional feeding. The code shows limited direct recent activity under its specific commodity designation; dried grapes appear to be sourced as part of larger food commodity aggregations rather than as standalone line items in most school and state agency RFQs and IFBs.
