UNSPSC 50383843: Gold grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50383843 Gold grape purees is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable and frozen fruit products purchased by state and local food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for gold grape purees specifically. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader food procurement across multiple fruit categories — applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, and general commodities for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, and county senior services. The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), and municipal departments (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). These jurisdictions source food products through informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (IFB), invitations to bid (ITB), and requests for proposals (RFP), with award typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value criteria.

Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and Arizona. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases and 1,904 cases respectively, due July 31, 2026 and June 2, 2026, with historical pricing near $21.84 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide serving hospitals and supported living centers (210 line items, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (approximately 382 line items, extended deadline May 4, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and produce (due October 19, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026); and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). Most solicitations require Buy American provisions, firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA standards, commercial general liability insurance, and delivery to multiple designated locations on FOB destination terms. The code shows no clear concentration — it reflects routine, decentralized procurement by independent agencies and districts rather than opportunities centered on gold grape purees as a discrete product line.
