UNSPSC 50323473: Dried red malaga grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323473 Dried red malaga grapes is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the state and local procurement activity the source documents. While the code nominally specifies a single dried-grape variety, recent solicitations tagged with this code predominantly solicit broad-based food supply contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations—encompassing hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods rather than dried red malaga grapes specifically. One solicitation (Santa Clara County's January 2026 dried fruits and nuts ITB) does address dried fruit procurement, but it encompasses raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends rather than red malaga grapes as a distinct item. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia) and regional education cooperatives, with single solicitations from a state (Georgia), a municipality (Bridgeport, Connecticut), a state correctional authority (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and a county correction facility (Santa Clara County, California).

The geographic spread reflects activity primarily in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with Georgia appearing in five recent solicitations (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, and the State of Georgia procurement), followed by scattered activity in Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Texas (TDCJ), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' master grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323) for section-based delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, with bids due April 27, 2026; Douglas County Schools' RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million, proposals due March 4, 2026; and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (including raisins and cranberries, not red malaga grapes) with bids due February 5, 2026. The code's broad tagging obscures the actual commodity focus, making this a low-signal category for vendors targeting specific dried-grape procurement.
