UNSPSC 50333466: Dried organic perlette grapes

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

UNSPSC 50333466 Dried organic perlette grapes is a Commodity code covering dried grape products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food services. The recent opportunities show limited direct solicitation for dried grapes as a standalone line item; instead, dried and fresh grape varieties appear embedded in broader fresh produce and food commodity RFQs issued by school districts and state agencies. Hancock County Schools in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut both solicited fresh produce for school nutrition programs under IFB notice types with response dates in June 2026, each naming apples, berries, citrus, and specialty fruits across 115 to 200+ line items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple food commodity solicitations covering proteins, dairy, grains, fresh and canned vegetables, and fruits, with one dedicated dried-fruit procurement (IFB No. IW236532) specifying whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality. All three jurisdictions — school districts, city education boards, and state correctional systems — are active buyers under this code, with procurement typically flowing through nutrition or food services departments rather than individual commodity specialists.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with Georgia and Texas showing the heaviest volume through state-level coordinated purchasing for correctional facilities and school systems. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations and contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the City of Bridgeport posted an IFB for commodities (including fruit products) due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to a single nutrition center with contract term through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products covering approximately 382 line items with response extended to May 4, 2026 and initial contract term through August 31, 2027, plus optional renewals. All solicitations mandate Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP or equivalent food safety plans, and firm-fixed pricing inclusive of transportation to designated delivery sites. The code shows modest but steady activity; dried grapes specifically appear as a minor component within much larger fresh and processed food procurement efforts rather than as featured standalone items.
