UNSPSC 50323624: Dried malbec grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323624 Dried malbec grapes, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its scope. The thirteen recent opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly reflect fresh produce, eggs, general grocery supply, and cafeteria food products for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities — categories distant from a specialized commodity like dried malbec grapes. One opportunity explicitly names dried fruits (Santa Clara County's procurement of dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix for a detention facility), and another references dried prunes for TDCJ, but neither specifies malbec grapes. The remaining opportunities cover master grocery contracts, fresh produce for K–12 nutrition, and broad food supply distribution, none of which target dried wine or table grapes as a line item.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District) and state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction), with one municipal nutrition center (City of Bridgeport). The geographic spread includes Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and California. Without solicitations explicitly requesting dried malbec grapes as a commodity, the code appears dormant for state and local procurement purposes, suggesting either minimal demand for this product line among public agencies or systematic miscoding of dried-grape purchases under broader agricultural or produce categories.
