UNSPSC 50323653: Dried souzao grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323653 Dried souzao grapes, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source includes thirteen recent opportunities across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service venues, but none specifically solicit dried souzao grapes or comparable specialty dried grape products; the opportunities instead focus on fresh produce, commodity food distribution, eggs, general dried fruits and nuts, and cafeteria staples. One procurement from the County of Santa Clara does solicit dried fruits including raisins and cranberries under UNSPSC 50323653, but this represents a tangential match on dried-fruit procurement rather than specific demand for souzao grapes. The recent opportunities reflect widespread school district and institutional purchasing of fresh produce, proteins, grains, and commodity items, but not the specialized dried grape category this code designates.

The geographic spread of recent food-service procurement activity spans Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Texas (TDCJ at multiple locations), and California (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department), with school districts dominating the issuing-body mix. The absence of recent solicitations specifically naming dried souzao grapes or equivalent specialty dried grape products, combined with the code's narrow commodity definition, suggests minimal current state and local procurement demand under this classification. Vendors should monitor broader dried-fruit and specialty produce codes or general commodity food-service opportunities if pursuing institutional nutrition markets, as the specialized souzao grape category does not currently generate visible state and local RFP, RFQ, or IFB activity.
