UNSPSC 50333608: Dried organic catarratto grapes

The variety of organic wine grapes known as organic catarratto grapes that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50333608 Dried organic catarratto grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure fresh and dried produce for institutional food service operations, primarily school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The recent opportunities in the block show school districts and state agencies acquiring produce through competitive bidding processes that emphasize Buy American compliance, food safety certification (HACCP plans, USDA grade standards), and firm-fixed pricing over multi-year contract terms. While the code's nominal scope references dried catarratto grapes specifically, the actual procurement activity spans broad produce categories—fresh apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, melons, leafy greens, and specialty fruits—as well as dried items like prunes, indicating that state and local buyers use this commodity code to tag diverse fresh and processed fruit and vegetable sourcing rather than single varietal procurement.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia and Texas purchasing divisions on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), and regional food service operations. Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with posted opportunities from Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas between April and June 2026. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026), which sought over 200 line items of fresh produce for three school sites across the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center commodities bid (IFB BNB053266, posted June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026), which covered 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit and vegetable products; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026), which encompassed approximately 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and fresh and canned vegetables and fruits for six distribution points statewide.
