UNSPSC 50323502: Dried canner grapes

The variety of raisin grapes known as canner grapes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323502 Dried canner grapes is a Commodity code that covers dried grape products supplied to institutional foodservice operations, particularly school nutrition programs. State and local governments procure dried grapes primarily as components of larger dried-fruit and nut contracts for school meals, correctional facility food services, and centralized nutrition operations. The code sees activity across school districts, county corrections departments, and state education agencies. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (both small and large), county school systems, boards of education, and specialized procurement entities purchasing on behalf of institutional foodservice operations. School districts dominate the recent opportunity set, reflecting the prevalence of child nutrition program procurement under federal Buy American requirements.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Georgia, California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Texas.
