UNSPSC 50323474: Dried red seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323474 Dried red seedless grapes, a Commodity code, covers fresh and dried fruit products that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried fruit as components of larger fresh produce and food commodities contracts, with dried grapes appearing alongside apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items in multi-line-item nutrition solicitations. The work is transactional — vendors respond to detailed product specifications (grade, count size, packaging, delivery location) under fixed-price contracts with firm pricing for twelve-month periods. Issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and city procurement offices acting on behalf of school nutrition centers.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school sites for the 2026–27 school year under Buy American requirements mandating 51 percent domestic content in processed products. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited 115 commodities line items (including fruit products) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certification applicable under city ordinance. Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items across five geographic areas due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum), including dried fruit items meeting USDA grade specifications for delivery to six distribution points statewide. A separate TDCJ solicitation (Bid No. IW236532) specified whole pitted dried prunes, U.S. Grade B quality in 60–70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for a Corpus Christi location and a February 20, 2026 bid opening.
