UNSPSC 50323620: Dried grenache grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as grenache grapes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50323620 Dried grenache grapes is a Commodity code that captures procurement of specialty dried fruit for institutional food service. In practice, state and local governments are buying dried fruit alongside broader fresh and processed food categories for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The recent opportunities show school districts and state corrections departments seeking multiple dried-fruit items as components within larger food-service RFQs and IFBs rather than standalone dried-grenache buys; when dried fruit does appear as a line item, it is typically bundled with dried prunes, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and grains under single cooperative purchasing vehicles. Issuing bodies include county and municipal school boards, state departments of education, state prison and corrections agencies, and city education nutrition centers. Vendors must meet USDA grade certification, Buy American domestic-content minimums (51 percent for processed items), HACCP food safety protocols, and commercial general liability insurance thresholds typically starting at $500,000 per occurrence.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce covering the 2026-27 school year with response due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for its Board of Education Nutrition Center with response due June 26, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products with a response deadline of May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 line items including canned and fresh fruits. TDCJ also solicited whole, pitted, dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) with a February 20, 2026 bid opening date for delivery to the Corpus Christi location. Contract terms typically run twelve months with optional renewals, delivery to multiple designated sites, and firm fixed pricing with prepaid freight and no separate fuel charges. The code shows consistent but modest activity focused on institutional volume purchasing through standard procurement notices rather than specialized single-commodity solicitations.
