UNSPSC 50323630: Dried mission grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323630 Dried mission grapes, a Commodity code, covers dried grape products procured by state and local governments, primarily school districts and corrections agencies for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing dried grapes as line items within broader food-supply contracts for cafeteria operations, inmate feeding programs, and nutrition centers. The code reflects procurement of processed fruit products meeting USDA grade standards and domestic-content requirements under Buy American provisions, typically specified by case count, packaging size, and shelf-life requirements. School districts and state corrections departments dominate the issuing body mix, with school nutrition programs (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appearing multiple times in recent activity.

Activity is concentrated in the South and mid-Atlantic regions, with Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut showing recent solicitation volume. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce and dried items for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products with approximately 382 line items across five geographic Texas warehouse locations (extended response due May 4, 2026), and TDCJ Bid No. IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes (1,400 boxes minimum, February 20, 2026). All solicitations require USDA compliance, firm fixed pricing with transportation prepaid, proof of domestic sourcing or 51 percent domestic content for processed items, and vendor insurance. Response cycles are typically 30–45 days from posting to IFB close, with award based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value, often split across multiple vendors.
