UNSPSC 50383830: Emerald seedless grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50383830 Emerald seedless grape purees, a Commodity code, sees limited recent direct solicitation under this specific designation; state and local food service programs instead solicit across broader fresh and processed fruit categories that encompass grape and other fruit purees as line items within larger food supply contracts. The work actually being purchased reflects institutional food service demand—school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services residential centers, and county nutrition programs source shelf-stable and fresh produce, frozen specialty items, and processed fruit products to meet meal service requirements across multiple delivery points. The code's narrow fruit-specific focus contrasts with how state and local buyers actually purchase: through consolidated commodity bids that bundle dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, produce, and processed fruits together, rather than as standalone grape-puree procurements. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Gwinnett County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas), state corrections agencies, municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport), and state-supported living centers. Few repeat solicitations appear under this specific code; instead, food service demand flows through broader commodity bids.

The geographic footprint of recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities illustrate the actual purchasing pattern: Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, applesauce among them, $4.5 million over three years) and June 2026 IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center ($1.5 million historical value); Oregon Department of Corrections' May and July 2026 ITBs for canned applesauce (1,904 and 4,760 cases respectively, $21.83 per case historical pricing); Illinois Chief Procurement Office's June and August 2026 brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce (200+ line items, domestic content required); and City of Bridgeport's June 2026 commodities bid for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (115 line items, MBE/CBE certifications applicable). Grape purees as standalone line items appear within these broader solicitations rather than as dedicated procurements, signaling that vendors pursuing this code should monitor institutional food service bids at state and local levels where processed fruits are bundled with other staples.
