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 is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement record shows minimal direct activity under this specific code. The opportunities posted against or near this classification involve fresh produce and dried fruit procurement for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state food services, yet none of the recent solicitations explicitly target malbec grapes or dried malbec grapes specifically. The Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) spans over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty items, but does not itemize malbec grapes; similarly, the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid for the Board of Education Nutrition Center and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB focus on proteins, dairy, grains, canned and fresh vegetables, and miscellaneous staples rather than specific dried grape varietals. The State of Georgia's May 15, 2026 food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026) and the TDCJ prunes procurement (IFB IW236532, originally due February 20, 2026) represent related dried-fruit categories but do not isolate malbec grapes as a line item.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut) and Texas, with school districts and correctional agencies as the primary issuing bodies. Dried fruit procurement does appear in the TDCJ record—the prunes bid called for U.S. Grade B whole, pitted dried prunes in 60–70 count size, 25-pound boxes, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Delivery Area 1—but this represents a different varietal. The source supports no recent state or local solicitations explicitly targeting dried malbec grapes as a named commodity; vendors evaluating this code should assess whether prior procurement records, cooperative purchasing catalogs, or multi-year commodity frameworks carry historical malbec grape demand before committing business development resources.
