UNSPSC 50323500: Dried raisin grapes

The type of grape known as raisin grapes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323500 Dried raisin grapes, a Class code, encompasses procurement of dried grapes—particularly raisins and prunes—for institutional food service operations including school nutrition programs, state corrections facilities, and county detention services. State and local governments source dried raisins and prunes primarily for cafeteria meal planning and inmate food services, typically specified by grade (US Grade B standard), pack size (commonly 1.5 oz individual packets or bulk cases), and shelf-life requirements. Recent activity shows school districts and correctional departments treating dried fruit as a component line item within broader food solicitations or as a standalone commodity purchase; the California Department of State Hospitals–Atascadero and County of Santa Clara Corrections both issued discrete dried fruit bids in early 2026, while school nutrition RFPs in Georgia and Missouri included dried fruit within multi-hundred-item grocery portfolios. Issuing bodies span K–12 school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District), state departments (California Department of State Hospitals–Atascadero, State of Georgia), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and county detention facilities (County of Santa Clara). School nutrition programs dominate recent solicitation volume.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri) and California, with secondary activity in Texas and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the California Department of State Hospitals–Atascadero's RFQ for 8,450 pounds of seedless raisins and 90 pounds of seedless raisins meeting US Grade B standards, due May 15, 2026; the County of Santa Clara's ITB for 5,880 cases annually of dried raisins in individual 1.5 oz packets for Elmwood Correctional Facility, due February 5, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Bid IW236532 for dried prunes (60–70 count size, 25-pound boxes, 1,400-box minimum order), with bid opening February 20, 2026. School district food procurement RFPs from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issued between March and June 2026 included dried fruits as line items within broader grocery solicitations, reflecting demand as a staple cafeteria ingredient rather than specialty procurement.
