UNSPSC 50333458: Dried organic muscat grapes

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

UNSPSC 50333458 Dried organic muscat grapes is a Commodity code representing fresh and processed produce items that state and local governments, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, procure through sealed-bid contracts. While the code nominally specifies dried organic muscat grapes, the recent solicitations tagged under it reveal a much broader scope: school districts and state agencies are sourcing dried fruits (including prunes and raisins), fresh produce (apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables, melons, specialty fruits), processed fruits and vegetables, and ancillary food commodities as part of larger nutrition supply contracts. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice); state procurement offices in Georgia and Texas issue on behalf of these using agencies. Buy American provisions (requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products) appear standard across all school and state nutrition contracts, and contracts typically run through June 30, 2027, with firm fixed pricing for the term unless market conditions trigger renegotiation.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce and specialty items across over 200 line items (response due June 26, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for 115 line items of food commodities including fruits and vegetables for its Board of Education Nutrition Center (response due June 26, 2026), the State of Georgia's IFB for food and kitchen products (response due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five geographic areas (response extended to May 4, 2026). A separate TDCJ IFB for whole pitted dried prunes at the Corpus location (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) reflects procurement of specific dried fruit items within the broader commodity family. All school and state nutrition contracts require HACCP plans or USDA compliance documentation, E-Verify authorization, proof of insurance, and delivery to designated school or correctional facility sites on FOB Destination terms with prepaid freight. Award patterns favor single or multiple vendors per line item based on lowest responsive and responsible bidding or best value analysis.
