UNSPSC 50323628: Dried merlot grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323628 Dried merlot grapes, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct activity in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a single dried fruit varietal intended for food service—does not align with the representative solicitations in the dataset. Recent state and local opportunities under this code tag encompass broad fresh and frozen produce procurement, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and general government food service, but dried merlot grapes as a specific line item do not appear in any of the solicitations reviewed. School districts, county boards of education, and state corrections agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with purchasing patterns centered on volume food service delivery rather than specialty dried fruit procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, reflecting school district nutrition program contracts and institutional food service requirements. Recent representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ items for the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response date; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) soliciting a Master Grocery K-12 contract via IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026; Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing RFP 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with a March 4, 2026 deadline; and Santa Clara County (California) publishing ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts including raisins, cranberries, and tree nuts due February 5, 2026. The dried merlot grapes code shows no current demand signal in these active procurement channels; buyers are sourcing dried fruits and nuts only as adjunct items within broader commodity baskets, if at all, and no solicitation names dried merlot grapes as a line item or requirement.
