UNSPSC 50383810: Black beauty seedless grape purees

The variety of table grapes known as black beauty seedless grapes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383810 Black beauty seedless grape purees — a Commodity code — names a specific processed fruit product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the nominal scope. The code appears in procurement records for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and bulk food supply across school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and state institutions. The actual work being solicited is food products for child nutrition programs, institutional food service, and state-supported living centers, spanning everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to canned goods, dairy, proteins, and prepared entrees — far broader than grape purees alone. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county education systems, and health departments. This mix reflects the code's wide capture of institutional food procurement rather than a narrow commodity category.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Virginia, with representation across the Midwest and broader Southeast. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide covering 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million (bid response deadline June 17 or later depending on addendum), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 covering multiple elementary, middle, and high schools with a July 1, 2026 contract start (due April 27, 2026). Buy American requirements and domestic agricultural commodity preferences appear consistently across school-based procurements. The code shows heavy recent activity but poor semantic fit — vendors pursuing grape puree sales will find limited relevant opportunity here; this code's recent use reflects broader institutional food service consolidation rather than specialty fruit products.
