UNSPSC 50333433: Dried organic empress grapes

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

UNSPSC 50333433 Dried organic empress grapes is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure almost exclusively as part of broader school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations. Recent opportunities show that dried grapes appear in elementary, secondary, and correctional institution meal programs, but the source material contains no standalone procurements for dried organic empress grapes alone. The code sits within a much larger ecosystem of fresh and processed produce purchasing by school districts, county boards of education, state departments, and correctional facilities. Issuing bodies range from individual school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri) to multi-district cooperatives (Douglas County School System serving 30 districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative) to state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia) to county facilities (Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with correctional food service and state-level procurement also present.

The recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic, with heavy activity in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), Texas (TDCJ cafeteria procurement and statewide food products), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Virginia (Fairfax County), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for school year 2026-27, due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh and specialty produce with delivery to three school locations; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323), due April 27, 2026, requiring delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens; the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026, covering 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million; and the Santa Clara County ITB for dried fruits and nuts at the Elmwood Correctional Facility, due February 5, 2026, requiring annual supply of 5,880 cases of dried raisins, 1,000 cases of dried cranberries, and 3,000 cases of dried tropical fruit mix. The code shows significant procurement activity but predominantly within multi-item commodity bundles rather than standalone dried organic grape line items, suggesting that vendors pursuing this category should prepare to compete as part of broader fresh and dried produce offerings to school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations.
