UNSPSC 50323600: Dried wine grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323600 Dried wine grapes, a Class code, captures purchases of dried grape products by state and local jurisdictions, though recent opportunities show the category encompasses a broader range of dried fruit and produce items sourced for institutional food service. State and local governments buying under this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state nutrition or food procurement divisions. The work solicited includes supply contracts for cafeteria operations, inmate feeding programs, and school nutrition centers, with vendors expected to meet USDA quality grades, nutritional specifications, and Buy American content requirements (typically 51 percent domestic content for processed products). Delivery logistics, advance appointment protocols, HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, and comprehensive insurance coverage are standard contract requirements.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and dried fruits with delivery to six distribution points across the state and a contract term through August 31, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewals. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites and a response due date of June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB on June 2, 2026, for 115 line items of food commodities to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with responses due June 26, 2026 and MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also issued a separate bid in April 2026 for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality (60-70 count) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes per delivery area, though that solicitation had already closed.
