UNSPSC 50333500: Dried organic raisin grapes

The type of organic grape known as organic raisin grapes that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50333500 Dried organic raisin grapes is a Class code that encompasses dried fruits and similar preserved produce items solicited by state and local school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and other food-service operations. State and local governments procure dried fruits under this code primarily as ingredients for institutional meal planning, cafeteria operations, and nutrition center supply chains. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments and agencies (Georgia and Texas), and specialized state purchasing divisions (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School nutrition programs and corrections facilities represent the dominant buyer categories, with dried fruits appearing as line items within broader fresh and processed food procurement vehicles rather than as standalone commodity buys. Solicitations consistently invoke Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent for processed products) and impose strict compliance with USDA grade standards, HACCP protocols, food safety certifications, and nutritional documentation.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the South and Southwest. Georgia and Texas dominate the visible opportunity set, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posting an IFB for fresh produce (which typically includes dried fruits as supplementary items) due June 26, 2026; the State of Georgia posting a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing multiple food-related procurements including an IFB for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) and a separate bid for whole pitted dried prunes (original due date February 20, 2026). Connecticut also appears in the set, with the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center issuing a commodities IFB due June 26, 2026 covering eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products. The code shows limited standalone solicitations; dried fruits typically appear as embedded line items within larger food service contracts rather than as dedicated commodity buys, and the recent-opportunities block contains no opportunities explicitly and primarily focused on dried organic raisin grapes alone.
