UNSPSC 50323643: Dried primitivo grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323643 Dried primitivo grapes, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement primarily through school nutrition and institutional food service contracts, though recent opportunities show the code is being applied to broader fresh and processed produce categories rather than dried grapes specifically. School districts, state education boards, and correctional facilities are the primary buyers, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all posting solicitations that encompass or reference produce and food commodities. The actual work being solicited spans fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits), frozen and canned goods, dairy, proteins, and grains delivered to school nutrition centers, correctional facility distribution points, and other institutional kitchens. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products are standard across these opportunities. Vendors must provide HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, debarment certification, nutritional analyses, state health inspection records, and commercial general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1 million. Contract terms typically run one to two years with firm fixed pricing, and awards are frequently made to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and South, with Georgia and Texas showing the most volume. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response deadline and delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids on 115 line items of commodities (eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026, through OpenGov's e-procurement portal. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points statewide, with the response deadline extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026. A separate TDCJ solicitation (Bid IW236532) for whole, pitted, dried prunes with U.S. Grade B certification and 1,400-box minimum order to the Corpus location had a February 20, 2026 due date.
