UNSPSC 50383818: Calmeria grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50383818 Calmeria grape purees is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and preserved fruit products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations tagged with this code show minimal activity aligned to the specific commodity name. The code shows limited recent procurement activity directly matching Calmeria grape purees; instead, the recent opportunities block reflects broader fruit preservation and food service sourcing across institutional buyers including corrections facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state food service programs. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), school districts across multiple states (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Dallas ISD, Hancock County Board of Education), and local jurisdictions (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School nutrition programs and state institutional food service represent the dominant issuing-body categories, with repeat procurement activity from Georgia school districts and Texas state agencies.

Recent opportunities show Oregon Department of Corrections issuing two ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, seeking approximately 4,760 and 1,904 cases respectively), Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, for food and consumable products including NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393 for state supported living centers, and multiple school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia issuing RFPs and IFBs for fresh and preserved fruit products. The code sees activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and the Mid-Atlantic, with scattered solicitations from Illinois and Missouri. While the code nominally covers Calmeria grape purees specifically, procurement officers are tagging broader canned and preserved fruit sourcing under it, including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed commodity food service items; the mismatch suggests the code may be a catch-all for fruit-based food products rather than a narrowly applied commodity designation.
