UNSPSC 50323476: Dried ribier grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323476 Dried ribier grapes, a Commodity code, covers dried grape products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The work being solicited under this code involves sourcing dried fruits meeting USDA grade standards for inclusion in meal programs, often as part of larger food-supply contracts that bundle produce, proteins, dairy, and staple items. School districts and state agencies are the primary buyers; recent opportunities show school nutrition centers and state department of corrections facilities purchasing dried fruits as components of comprehensive food-commodity solicitations rather than standalone line items.

Activity under this code concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with additional recent solicitations from Connecticut and broader state procurement offices. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality (60–70 count size, 1,400 boxes minimum, 25 pounds per box) with a revised due date of February 20, 2026, at 3:00 PM, requiring USDA grade certification and sealed food-grade packaging. The State of Georgia posted IFB PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 deadline. Hancock County Schools, Georgia, issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across the 2026–27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026, requiring Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items) and three-location delivery. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested bids on commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026. Most solicitations enforce Buy American provisions, require USDA compliance documentation, and mandate HACCP plans or nutritional analyses; awards typically go to lowest responsive bidders with options for single or multiple vendor awards.
