UNSPSC 50323503: Dried dovine grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323503 Dried dovine grapes is a Commodity code covering dried grape products procured by state and local governments. The recent opportunities posted under this code show school nutrition programs and correctional institutions buying fresh and processed produce through competitive bidding, though the code's nominal scope—dried grapes specifically—appears in only one of the five recent solicitations. State and local governments use this code primarily to source fresh and processed food items for school lunch programs, state nutrition centers, and correctional facility cafeterias. Issuing bodies include county and municipal school boards (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia State Procurement and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and special-purpose correctional procurement units (TDCJ Contracts and Procurement Department). Buyers typically procure over 100 line items per contract, spanning proteins, dairy, grains, canned and fresh produce, and specialty items, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products and strict USDA grade certification, HACCP plans, and insurance requirements.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with posted opportunities from Georgia (state procurement and county schools), Connecticut (municipal schools), and Texas (state correctional and criminal justice). The most recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites and a response date of June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases requesting bids for 115 line items of food commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with electronic submission due June 26, 2026, under IFB BNB053266; and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issuing IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas with a response due date of May 4, 2026. A Texas Department of Criminal Justice bid (IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes represents a direct match to the code's nominal scope, with a revised due date of February 20, 2026.
