UNSPSC 50323627: Dried mataro grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323627 Dried mataro grapes (Commodity) describes dried grape products that state and local school districts and correctional systems procure as part of broader food-service supply contracts. Recent solicitations show this code appearing within larger nutrition and cafeteria procurement efforts, where dried fruit items sit alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples. The work involves meeting USDA quality and grading standards, packaging specifications, and delivery-to-site requirements under firm fixed-price contracts that typically run twelve months with renewal options. State and local issuing bodies sourcing under this code include school district nutrition programs, state corrections departments, and municipal education agencies, all of which consolidate dried fruit into multi-category commodity RFQs and IFBs rather than issuing standalone solicitations for individual dried-fruit line items.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted recent cafeteria-food-product IFBs spanning 382 line items including dried fruit, with responses due May 4, 2026, and a contract term through August 31, 2027, plus two optional one-year renewal periods. The State of Georgia posted a food-supplies IFB with response due June 22, 2026. In Connecticut, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center included dried-fruit and produce items in a 115-line-item commodities IFB due June 26, 2026, requiring electronic submission through the OpenGov Procurement Portal and firm pricing through June 30, 2027. Hancock County Schools in Georgia issued a 200-line-item fresh-produce IFB on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, requiring HACCP plans and three-location delivery (Hancock Central Middle/High School, M.E. Lewis Elementary, and Early Head Start) for the 2026–27 school year. All solicitations enforced Buy American requirements mandating at least 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products.
