UNSPSC 50323495: Dried white seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323495 Dried white seedless grapes, a Commodity code, encompasses raisins and other dried grape products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state purchasing cooperatives. School districts dominate the recent solicitation activity, sourcing dried grapes as commodity ingredients for cafeteria meal preparation and nutrition programs. The code reflects actual procurement of processed dried fruit products rather than fresh grapes, with specifications typically calling for USDA Grade A or Grade B quality, sealed packaging in food-grade containers, and compliance with the Buy American Provision requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), city school boards procuring through municipal purchasing offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut), state departments managing statewide commodity procurement (Georgia), and state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School nutrition procurement dominates the activity, with specifications emphasizing HACCP food safety plans, E-Verify authorization, anti-collusion certifications, and delivery to multiple school sites on firm fixed pricing with transportation included.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and reflects the rhythm of school nutrition bidding cycles. Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 fresh produce line items for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products via electronic submission due June 26, 2026, for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable under city ordinance. The State of Georgia issued an IFB on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with scope details in the attached solicitation document. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured cafeteria food products via IFB No. 304T-26-300CF (extended response date May 4, 2026) spanning 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas, and separately issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes in 60-70 count size with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes delivered to the Corpus Christi location. Geographic concentration spans Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with school nutrition budgets driving procurement volume and correctional systems representing secondary but consistent demand.
