UNSPSC 50333400: Dried organic table grapes

The type of organic grape known as organic table grapes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50333400 Dried organic table grapes is a Class code that encompasses fresh and dried grape procurement for state and local institutional buyers, particularly school districts and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying dried fruits including prunes and raisins alongside fresh produce for nutrition programs; while the code name specifies organic dried grapes, actual purchasing activity under this code spans broader dried-fruit and fresh-produce categories integrated into food-service contracts. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) soliciting multi-category fresh produce contracts that include grapes and other dried fruits. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and State of Georgia also procure food supplies including dried fruits for institutional feeding programs. Contracts typically run for twelve months with renewal options, require Buy American domestic-content minimums (51 percent for processed products), and mandate HACCP plans, food safety certifications, and delivery to multiple institutional sites.

Georgia and Texas show the most recent activity, with secondary procurement in Connecticut. Hancock County Schools Nutrition posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce including specialty items for the 2026–27 school year with a response deadline of June 26, 2026, awarding to the lowest responsive bidder or multiple vendors. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a commodities IFB on June 2, 2026, for 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products, due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable under city ordinance. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB in May 2026 for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items with a revised response date of May 4, 2026, delivering to six TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic areas.
