UNSPSC 50383818: Calmeria grape purees

The variety of table grapes known as calmeria grapes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383818 Calmeria grape purees (Commodity) covers specialty fruit products procured by state and local governments primarily as ingredient components in institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct demand for Calmeria grape purees specifically. Instead, the code's recent activity captures a broader institutional food procurement pattern: state departments, counties, school districts, and state-supported facilities are soliciting shelf-stable and fresh produce items, processed fruits, and comprehensive food service commodities that include applesauce, dried fruit products, fresh berries, and multi-category food supply contracts. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Veterans Home system), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Gwinnett County, Georgia), municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and county social services divisions (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services). Scope across recent solicitations emphasizes bulk commodity food service: Oregon DOC and HHSC procure canned applesauce in multi-truckload quantities; Texas TDCJ and HHSC solicit hundreds of line items covering proteins, dairy, grains, and fresh produce; school nutrition programs bid fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps for K–12 meal service; and county and municipal social services agencies purchase shelf-stable items for senior programs and nutrition centers.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (TDCJ, HHSC El Paso, Austin ISD, Bridgeport), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia general procurement), Oregon (ODOC applesauce), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, bids due July 31, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST), evaluated on a per-unit basis with a historical price of $21.84 per case and 5 percent Oregon goods and resident preferences applied; the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, bid due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers with a potential maximum value of $4.5 million over three years; Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (PE77023NONST2027000000782, quotes due October 19, 2026) for the Department of Community Services; and the Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, proposals due July 16, 2026). No recent opportunity in the source shows active procurement of Calmeria grape purees by name, indicating the code's classification of this opportunity block may reflect a broader food products tagging convention rather than specific demand for that specialty varietal.
