UNSPSC 50323637: Dried palomino grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323637 Dried palomino grapes is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement primarily through school nutrition and institutional food service contracts. However, the recent opportunities block shows little direct activity for dried palomino grapes specifically. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code encompass broad fresh and dried produce procurement for school cafeterias and correctional facilities, including fresh produce for school nutrition programs (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits), cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and staple items, and dried fruits such as prunes. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal purchasing offices acting on behalf of education and corrections agencies. Contracts typically run for a full school or fiscal year with firm pricing and include Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content in processed products, HACCP plans where applicable, comprehensive vendor certifications (debarment verification, anti-collusion affidavits, insurance documentation), and USDA compliance.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the most recent solicitations posted between May and June 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB posted June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026 at 12:00 p.m., covering over 200 line items of fresh produce for July 2026 through June 2027 delivery to three school locations), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases Commodities bid (electronic submissions due June 26, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., covering 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for delivery through June 30, 2027), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products IFB (due May 4, 2026 per Addendum No. 2, spanning approximately 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and fresh and canned produce for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points). The code shows limited direct procurement of dried palomino grapes; the Texas TDCJ dried prunes bid (IFB IW236532, due February 20, 2026) represents the only dried-fruit-specific opportunity in the recent block, calling for U.S. Grade B prunes in 60–70 count size with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus location.
