UNSPSC 50323485: Dried sugarthirteen grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323485 Dried sugarthirteen grapes is a Commodity code representing dried fruit products procured for institutional food service, though recent state and local activity under this code does not align closely with the nominal category name. School districts, correctional facilities, and other public food service operations buy dried fruits—including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends—as discrete line items within broader food supply contracts rather than as standalone procurements. The County of Santa Clara's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to supply its detention facility's food services represents the only recent opportunity explicitly focused on this product class, calling for dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis with 5- to 10-year delivery horizons and firm pricing for Year 1. More commonly, dried fruits appear as minor line items within master grocery or food supply contracts spanning hundreds of items—visible in Hancock County Schools' June 2026 fresh produce IFB, Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 Master Grocery K-12 RFP, and Rockwood School District's April 2026 grocery items solicitation, each encompassing 76 to 900+ line items where dried fruits are bundled with fresh produce, proteins, grains, and prepared foods. School nutrition programs account for the bulk of recent issuing bodies, with Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham) appearing most frequently; Texas TDCJ, Connecticut municipalities, Missouri school districts, and California counties represent the broader geographic footprint. The code shows limited standalone procurement activity—most state and local buyers acquire dried fruits as part of comprehensive food service distribution agreements rather than dedicated dried-fruit contracts, narrowing the addressable market for vendors positioned solely in this category.

Recent representative opportunities include the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (due February 5, 2026) for dried fruits and nuts supporting the Department of Correction, a five-year contract with firm Year 1 pricing and local-business preference; Hancock County Schools' IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce encompassing multiple dried-fruit line items across three school delivery locations; and Rockwood School District's NUTRIKIDS-based electronic IFB (due April 29, 2026) for over 900 grocery items including dried fruits as subordinate categories within a July 2026 to June 2027 annual term. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and the Southeast, followed by scattered activity in Texas, California, Missouri, and Connecticut. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear consistently across school district solicitations; firm fixed pricing for 12-month contract terms is standard, with some opportunities permitting annual price adjustments capped by consumer price index or supplier cost documentation. Vendors typically must demonstrate three to five years of food service experience, maintain $1 million commercial general liability insurance, and comply with USDA and state health department certifications. The code presents a niche opportunity within larger food service distribution—success requires capability to fulfill dried fruits as part of diversified product portfolios serving institutional cafeterias and detention facilities, not as a standalone category.
