UNSPSC 50323478: Dried rouge grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323478 Dried rouge grapes, a Commodity code, covers dried grape products for institutional food service, as evidenced by recent school nutrition and correctional-facility procurement activity. State and local governments are sourcing dried grapes—along with fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and canned goods—to supply school cafeterias, nutrition centers, and correctional-facility kitchens. The buying bodies are school districts, municipal boards of education, state departments, and state correctional agencies. School nutrition programs and institutional food services dominate recent activity under this code, with contracts specifying USDA grading, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, E-Verify, debarment verification), Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items, and firm-fixed pricing for multi-year contract periods. Vendors must deliver on designated schedules—schools typically Monday through Friday during business hours, correctional facilities to designated warehouse distribution points—and maintain backup stock for emergency orders. Payment terms typically run 30–45 days net, with orders placed as needed rather than on fixed schedules.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026 (response due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce across over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year, with delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted a commodities IFB on June 2, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for 115 line items supplying the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable and electronic submission through OpenGov. The State of Georgia posted a general food-supplies IFB on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with detailed scope in an attached document. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ issued an IFB on May 4, 2026 (extended to May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 cafeteria food-product line items across five geographic areas in Texas, with pre-bid conference held March 26, 2026 and initial contract term through August 31, 2027 plus two optional one-year renewals. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid No. IW236532) for whole dried prunes showed a response deadline of February 20, 2026, indicating prior-cycle activity.
