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, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work appearing in recent state and local solicitations. The code's nominal reference to a single dried fruit variety does not align with the diverse, broad-based food procurement activity tagged under it in practice. Recent state and local opportunities under this code span cafeteria food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facility commissaries, with vendors supplying entire categories of food products—fresh and frozen produce, proteins, grains, dairy, prepared entrees, and miscellaneous kitchen staples—rather than palomino grapes specifically. This disconnect between the code name and actual procurement scope reflects the taxonomy's limitation in capturing granular commodity distinctions at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts and county boards of education in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and California, along with a county sheriff's correctional facility and state criminal justice agencies. Recent activity centers on Georgia school systems—Hancock County Board of Education (IFB for fresh produce, June 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (bid for fresh produce, April 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB for food products, April 2026), and the Douglas County School System (RFP for fresh produce and eggs via GEC Buying Cooperative, March 2026; RFP for main-line food supply and distribution, February 2026)—alongside school districts in Missouri and Connecticut, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food products IFB and dried prunes solicitation, May and February 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia (Master Grocery K-12 IFB, April 2026), and Santa Clara County, California (dried fruits and nuts ITB for correctional food services, February 2026). The frequency of school district participation and the pattern of annual or multi-year term contracts indicate sustained demand within K-12 nutrition programs, though this code's taxonomy designation does not isolate dried-fruit procurement from the broader food-supply ecosystem.
