UNSPSC 50333434: Dried organic exotic grapes

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

UNSPSC 50333434 Dried organic exotic grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses whole, pitted, and specialty dried fruit products purchased by state and local school districts, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code do not center on dried organic exotic grapes specifically; instead, state and local buyers are procuring broader dried fruit categories including dried raisins, dried cranberries, dried tropical fruit blends, and related nuts as components of larger institutional food service contracts. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with additional activity from state departments of criminal justice and county correctional facilities. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia have all posted recent RFPs and IFBs for food products spanning fresh produce, grocery items, and specialty dried fruits. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department Correction Food Services have also solicited dried fruit and nut products. A Commodity code at this specificity level typically sees narrower, more specialized demand than broader Family or Class codes; the recent opportunities block reflects this pattern, with dried-fruit-specific activity appearing in only one or two of the thirteen opportunities listed.

Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri school districts, with additional procurement from Texas (TDCJ facilities) and California (Santa Clara County correctional facility). The Santa Clara County ITB for Dried Fruits and Nuts (Solicitation ITBPRCFY260617, due February 5, 2026) represents a direct match to this code's scope—five line items covering dried raisins, dried cranberries, dried tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for Elmwood Correctional Facility on an all-or-none basis with a five-year contract term and a local business preference of five percent. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole, pitted, dried prunes meeting U.S. Grade B quality (60-70 count size, 1,400-box minimum order), with a revised due date of February 20, 2026. Most other recent opportunities in the block—including the Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026), Bridgeport Board of Education commodities procurement (due June 26, 2026), and Rockwood School District grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026)—treat dried fruits as line items within broader fresh and grocery procurement rather than standalone specialized contracts. The code shows moderate but episodic activity; businesses seeking to pursue it should monitor school district nutrition RFPs and state/county correctional facility food service solicitations in the Southeast and Southwest regions.
