UNSPSC 50333430: Dried organic emerald seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50333430 Dried organic emerald seedless grapes, a Commodity code, encompasses dried fruit products procured by state and local education and corrections agencies for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a narrow scope: school nutrition programs and correctional facilities source fresh produce and dried fruits as components of larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone dried-grape purchases. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year with a response date of June 26, 2026, while the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases sought commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued separate IFBs for cafeteria food products and dried prunes to supply multiple warehouse locations. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state correctional agencies; municipal education departments also participate. Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products appear consistently across education-sector solicitations, and vendors must comply with USDA grade standards, HACCP plans, and nutritional documentation requirements.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent postings. The Hancock County Schools opportunity (Georgia) and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) represent school-nutrition demand, while the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procures on behalf of TDCJ across multiple Texas warehouse locations. The State of Georgia also issued a broader food-supplies solicitation (due June 22, 2026) with details contained in attached documentation. No standalone dried-grape procurement has been identified in the recent-opportunities block; dried grapes appear only as potential line items within larger institutional food-service contracts. Vendors entering this space should expect multi-item commodity bundling, firm fixed pricing over contract terms of 12–27 months, destination freight delivery, and compliance with federal school-lunch and corrections nutritional standards. The code shows limited standalone activity and may reflect categorical misalignment, with actual purchasing occurring under broader food-commodity and fresh-produce codes at the state and local level.
