UNSPSC 50383826: Dauphine grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50383826 Dauphine grape purees is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within food supply procurement, but the recent opportunities under this code indicate state and local governments are buying shelf-stable and refrigerated food products far more broadly than the code name suggests. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners purchased approximately 1,062 cases of food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables through an informal written quote (IWQ) process in October 2026. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy across multiple quarterly cycles under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services have issued invitations for food and consumable products spanning 210 line items—fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated items including proteins, dairy, bakery, fruits, and vegetables—for state hospitals and supported living centers. School districts and corrections departments also participate: Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, Hancock County Board of Education bid on fresh produce with over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year, and the Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice each issued competitive bids for canned applesauce and cafeteria food products respectively. Issuing bodies span state departments, county boards of education, school districts, correctional systems, and health and human services facilities, reflecting the code's application across institutional food service.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with recent opportunities from Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two separate canned applesauce bids (May and July 2026), each for approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases, establishing Oregon as a repeat buyer in this commodity space and demonstrating state preference activity (5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders). Texas appears across multiple solicitations: the Comptroller's office managing TDCJ procurement for cafeteria food products under IFB 304T26300CF (response due May 4, 2026), HHSC's supplemental food and consumables bid (response due March 19, 2026, with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million), and HHSC El Paso food procurement (response due July 13, 2026). Illinois, Georgia, and Connecticut each show institutional food service demand through state and local health, education, and corrections channels. Buy American requirements appear consistently across school and institutional bids, with minimum domestic content thresholds of 51 percent for processed products and delivery or FOB destination terms standard across most opportunities. The code shows active, recurring procurement demand but primarily for broader institutional food categories rather than grape purees specifically, suggesting vendors in this commodity should position for institutional food service supply relationships where the code may function as a miscellaneous filing mechanism rather than a primary descriptor.
