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 is a Commodity code that captures the procurement of dried raisins and dried specialty fruits for school nutrition programs and correctional food services. State and local governments buy dried fruit products under this code primarily to supplement meal service in schools and detention facilities, where they serve as shelf-stable snack items, breakfast components, and baking ingredients. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are school districts of varying sizes (ranging from mid-sized county systems to large metropolitan districts), county correctional authorities, and occasionally state departments coordinating multi-district cooperative purchasing agreements. School nutrition programs dominate recent activity, with dried fruits appearing as line items within broader fresh produce and grocery solicitations, as well as in standalone dried fruit and nuts procurements for detention facilities.

Recent opportunities show dried fruit procurement concentrated in Georgia and California, with secondary activity in Texas and Connecticut. The County of Santa Clara, California issued Invitation to Bids ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried raisins, dried cranberries, and dried tropical fruit mix blends for its correctional facility, with bids due February 5, 2026, requiring all-or-none bidding across five line items and a five-year contract term with firm Year 1 pricing. Across Georgia, multiple school districts—Hancock County Schools (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB, due April 29, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026)—included dried produce as a subset of broader annual food product categories. Buy American requirements mandate minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products across these solicitations, and most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with firm fixed pricing for the full term and payment within 30–45 days of delivery.
