UNSPSC 50323662: Dried triplett blanc grapes

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

UNSPSC 50323662 Dried triplett blanc grapes, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of dried fruits and specialty produce items for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies soliciting dried fruits as line items within broader fresh and processed produce contracts, though dried grapes specifically appear rarely in posted solicitations. The work encompasses procurement of specific dried fruit varieties meeting USDA grade standards, food safety certifications (HACCP plans, traceability), and delivery to multiple institutional locations under firm-fixed pricing with transportation included. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, school districts, and state procurement offices acting on behalf of education and food service agencies; school nutrition contracts dominate the recent activity, typically requiring compliance with the Buy American provision (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and MBE/CBE certifications where applicable.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning 200-plus line items for the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response date; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted a commodities IFB the same week for 115 line items serving the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, released an IFB in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic areas, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation in May 2026 with a June 22, 2026 due date. A separate TDCJ bid for whole pitted dried prunes (IFB IW236532) closed February 20, 2026, specifying U.S. Grade B quality with USDA certification requirements and a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus location. School lunch contracts typically feature sealed-bid IFB processes, quarterly or annual contract terms, and requirements for USDA compliance documentation and vendor references; most carry no explicit set-asides but impose Buy American content thresholds and insurance minimums.
