UNSPSC 50333628: Dried organic merlot grapes

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

UNSPSC 50333628 Dried organic merlot grapes is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its specific scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span school nutrition programs, correctional food services, and general food supply contracts, but none specifically solicit dried organic merlot grapes; instead, they request broader fresh produce, dried fruits, or complete food supply portfolios that may incidentally include such items. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) for dried fruits and nuts at a correctional facility comes closest in product category, requesting dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis with a five-year contract term, but does not name grapes specifically. The code shows no clear pattern of dedicated procurement activity for this specific dried fruit commodity across state and local jurisdictions.

Issuing bodies using codes tagged to or near this category include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County and Savannah-Chatham County boards in Georgia, and Douglas County schools in Georgia), correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department), and municipal education departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast and South (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and California), with school nutrition contracts predominating. However, the lack of solicitations explicitly naming dried organic merlot grapes suggests this code may be used infrequently in state and local procurement, or that buyers source such specialty dried fruit items through broader grocery or produce master agreements rather than standalone line items. Firms pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition RFPs and correctional food service bids for bundle opportunities and verify whether dried grapes are commonly specified within larger dried fruit and nut categories.
