UNSPSC 50323655: Dried symphony grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323655 Dried symphony grapes is a Commodity code encompassing dried fruit products procured by state and local education and correctional agencies to supply cafeteria, nutrition center, and food-service operations. The code represents a narrow product line within broader fresh and processed produce procurement that school districts, state departments, and correctional facilities source for meal preparation and distribution. Recent state and local opportunities show that agencies procure dried fruit items—including prunes, raisins, and related dried grape varieties—as components of larger food-service contracts that also span fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and pantry staples. Issuing bodies include county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), municipal education departments (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state procurement divisions on behalf of correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, and the State of Georgia), and state-level food-service operations. School nutrition centers and correctional meal programs represent the primary buying constituencies.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut based on recent postings, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple food-service solicitations issued in the spring and early summer of 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Bid No. IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Corpus Christi delivery and a revised due date of February 20, 2026 (Addendum No. 1); and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with specialty dried and fresh items, due June 26, 2026, covering the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school sites. Buy American provisions requiring a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products apply across school-based solicitations, and vendors must provide HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, and nutritional documentation. Correctional and education procurement typically requires firm fixed pricing for the contract term, 24–48 hour delivery or emergency-stock backup availability, and commercial general liability insurance.
