UNSPSC 50383833: Empress grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50383833 Empress grape purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little meaningful relevance to the nominal category. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned fruit applesauce under ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has sought supplemental food and consumable products including fresh, frozen, and canned items under IFB HHS0016792 (due March 19, 2026), yet neither procurement explicitly targets grape purees. The actual procurement activity visible in the opportunities block spans broader food service categories—fresh produce, canned fruits, groceries, and proteins—rather than a single-product focus on grape purees. School districts including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), and Douglas County (Georgia) are active in fresh produce and grocery food service solicitations, while state corrections and health agencies (Oregon DOC, Texas HHSC, Illinois CPO) procure institutional food supplies in bulk.

The geographic spread reflects activity across the South and Midwest, with recent solicitations from Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. The dominant issuing bodies are school districts and state health/corrections agencies conducting annual or multi-year food service procurements, typically using IFB, RFP, and ITB notice types with response windows spanning six to eight weeks. Canned fruit applesauce from Oregon DOC (4,760 cases at $21.84 per case historical pricing) and fresh produce from multiple school systems indicate that state and local governments buy fruit products in volume and on standing contracts, but the code's nominal scope does not align tightly with the opportunities posted. No recent solicitations name grape purees specifically, and the data does not support pursue activity focused on this Commodity code.
