UNSPSC 50333624: Dried organic malbec grapes

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

UNSPSC 50333624 Dried organic malbec grapes is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice covers dried fruit products supplied to school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies purchasing dried and fresh produce as part of broader food-service solicitations rather than as standalone specialty-ingredient procurements. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, and specialty items for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB for cafeteria food products encompassing proteins, dairy, grains, and produce across multiple warehouse locations. These solicitations impose Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products) and demand HACCP plans, USDA compliance, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and FOB destination or prepaid freight delivery.

Issuing bodies include school districts, city nutrition departments, state correctional and food-service agencies, and statewide procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple state agencies. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, due June 26, 2026, Sparta, Georgia), the City of Bridgeport COMMODITIES solicitation (IFB, due June 26, 2026, electronic submission via OpenGov Procurement Portal), and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products (originally due April 21, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026). A separate TDCJ bid (IW236532) specifically for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes demonstrates narrower dried-fruit procurement by state correctional food service; that solicitation's due date was amended to February 20, 2026, at 3:00 PM. The code shows limited standalone activity — dried organic malbec grapes do not appear as a distinct line item in any recent posting — and the opportunities actually posted under this code are broader fresh and processed produce buys in which dried fruit may represent a small component rather than the primary procurement focus.
