UNSPSC 50333419: Dried organic cardinal grapes

The variety of organic table grapes known as organic cardinal grapes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50333419 Dried organic cardinal grapes is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products for institutional food service, specifically dried grapes and similar preserved fruit items used in school nutrition programs and correctional facility cafeterias. Recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies sourcing dried fruit as part of broader fresh and processed produce buys for student meals and institutional dining. The issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia), municipal boards of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and statewide procurement divisions acting on behalf of state agencies. Work solicited under the code spans dried fruit sourcing with USDA grade certification, food-safety compliance including HACCP plans and E-Verify authorization, and Buy American compliance requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products.

Geographic activity centers on the South (Georgia, Texas) and Northeast (Connecticut), with recent IFBs posted between mid-May and mid-June 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with bids due June 26, 2026, for over 200 line items of fresh and specialty produce across multiple delivery sites for the 2026–27 school year; while the solicitation emphasizes fresh items, it signals institutional demand for preserved fruit in school nutrition contexts.
