UNSPSC 50323504: Dried fiesta grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323504 Dried fiesta grapes (Commodity) encompasses dried fruit products supplied to state and local food service operations, though recent state and local procurement activity shows little direct demand for the specific dried grape variety. The recent opportunities under this code span school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and institutional food services across multiple states, with school districts representing the dominant buyer class. The actual work being solicited centers on bulk dried fruit procurement for institutional meal programs — including dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, and other dried fruits used in school lunches, breakfast programs, and correctional facility food service. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), county and state purchasing offices (County of Santa Clara, California; State of Georgia), and specialized nutrition procurement cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). School nutrition programs dominate the issuing body mix, with most opportunities posting through March to June 2026.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and California. The County of Santa Clara, California, issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts (including dried raisins and cranberries in bulk case quantities) with delivery to a correctional facility, due February 5, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning multiple categories with a due date of June 26, 2026; while the solicitation emphasizes fresh items, it may include dried fruit components. Broader opportunities such as the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (February 2026, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 districts with estimated spend of approximately $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two, and the Rockwood R-VI School District procurement (April 2026) encompassing over 900 line items across dried and fresh grocery categories, signal institutional demand for commodity food items. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content appear consistently across school nutrition solicitations, and pricing typically remains firm for the entire annual contract period with quarterly or annual cost adjustment mechanisms tied to federal price indices or manufacturer price list documentation. However, no opportunities in the block specifically name dried fiesta grapes as a line item, suggesting the code may capture only incidental dried-grape procurement or may be misapplied to broader dried-fruit contracts in state and local sourcing systems.
