UNSPSC 50383858: Muscat grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50383858 Muscat grape purees is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broader range of food service procurement—dried fruits, fresh produce, canned and frozen prepared foods, and related consumables for institutional dining—rather than muscat grape purees specifically. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts, state departments (corrections, health and human services, veterans affairs), counties, and cities acquiring shelf-stable and fresh food items for cafeterias, nutrition centers, senior services, correctional facilities, and supported living centers. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies using the code to procure everything from fresh produce and dried fruit bars to canned applesauce, prepared entrees, proteins, dairy, and kitchen supplies in bulk quantities, typically on annual or multi-year terms with firm fixed pricing. Vendors must meet USDA commodity specifications, maintain food safety certifications (HACCP plans where required), provide liability insurance commonly in the $1–2 million range, comply with Buy American provisions where applicable (particularly in school nutrition programs), and accept delivery to multiple institutional locations on FOB Destination terms.
