UNSPSC 50333496: Dried organic zante current grapes

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

UNSPSC 50333496 Dried organic zante current grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow food-supply category that state and local governments purchase almost exclusively through school nutrition and correctional-facility food-service contracts. The recent opportunities reflect a demand for dried fruits as components of larger produce and commodity packages rather than as standalone line items; where they appear, they are bundled within broader fresh or processed food solicitations serving institutional kitchens. School districts dominate the issuing bodies under this code, with state correctional agencies and municipal school boards also active. The work solicited is straightforward procurement of food items meeting USDA and Buy American requirements, with emphasis on compliance documentation, HACCP plans where applicable, domestic-content certification, and delivery to multiple institutional locations on firm fixed-price contracts.

The geographic spread encompasses Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent activity. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce in the 2026–27 school year with a due date of June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of produce spanning fruits and vegetables but not specifically calling out dried zante currants in the posted summary. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, also due June 26, 2026, across 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products. The State of Georgia issued a broader food-supplies IFB due June 22, 2026, with full scope details in an attached document. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, issued an IFB for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) covering approximately 382 line items with delivery to six TDCJ distribution points; TDCJ separately issued an IFB for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026), indicating that dried fruits do move through correctional procurement channels when specified by product. Dried zante current grapes do not feature prominently in the recent opportunity summaries provided, suggesting limited standalone demand or consistent bundling within larger produce frames rather than discrete line-item competition.
