UNSPSC 50333472: Dried organic red globe grapes

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

UNSPSC 50333472 Dried organic red globe grapes is a Commodity code representing fresh and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. Based on recent state and local solicitations, the code captures dried fruit commodities—particularly dried grapes and prunes—purchased as part of broader institutional food-supply contracts. School districts and state departments procure these items alongside fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, and other cafeteria staples to meet nutritional requirements and comply with Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic ingredient content. The issuing bodies span school districts (notably Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia Department of Education and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple institutions. Vendors bidding on these codes must provide USDA grade certifications, HACCP or food-safety compliance documentation, and proof of domestic sourcing or ingredient compliance to satisfy Buy American thresholds set by the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and reflects school-year procurement cycles running July through June. Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response deadline, encompassing over 200 line items across multiple fruit and vegetable categories with delivery to three school sites. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) posted a broad commodities RFQ due June 26, 2026, for 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products and requiring MBE/CBE certifications under City Ordinance 3.12.130 and electronic submission through the OpenGov Procurement Portal. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas with a May 4, 2026 response deadline (extended from April 21 via Addendum No. 2); the same agency issued Bid IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality packed in 25-pound boxes with a February 20, 2026 due date and a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus location. Georgia's May 15, 2026 posting (Solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026 indicates additional state-level procurement activity, though full details are contained in an attached document.
