UNSPSC 50333445: Dried organic italia grapes

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

UNSPSC 50333445 Dried organic italia grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses dried grape products for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show limited activity specifically matching this narrow specification. The code sits within the broader dried fruit category and captures what school districts, correctional facilities, and other public bodies purchase when they source preserved fruit for cafeteria and meal programs. Recent solicitations focus on general dried fruit procurement rather than Italia grapes specifically, reflecting how state and local purchasing offices often cast wider nets for commodity fruit supply. School districts dominate the buying base under related produce and food service codes, with individual districts and multi-district cooperatives issuing the largest volumes of solicitations for fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, and staple foods. Correctional systems represent a secondary but consistent buyer segment, procuring dried fruits as part of standardized institutional meal service supply. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts in January 2026 covering dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix on a five-year term; while this opportunity does not specify Italia grapes, it illustrates the correctional-facility demand profile for dried fruit products meeting nutritional and packaging specifications.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in California, Connecticut, Virginia, and Missouri. Georgia school districts—including Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Hancock County—have posted multiple food service RFPs and IFBs since February 2026, though none specifically name dried grapes as a line item. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a large cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF) in May 2026 spanning 382 line items across protein, dairy, and commodity staples; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited master grocery contracts in April and March 2026 respectively. Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) with a February 5, 2026 due date remains the most directly relevant recent opportunity, though it does not isolate Italia grapes. The code shows minimal specific recent activity; prospectors should monitor school nutrition program and correctional facility food service solicitations for dried fruit line items rather than expect dedicated calls for this single dried-grape commodity.
