UNSPSC 50383862: New cross grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50383862 New cross grape purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fruit-based food products for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity shows this code tagged to purchases spanning canned and processed fruits, fresh produce, and specialized food items rather than specifically to grape purees. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state correctional and health agencies procuring food for nutrition programs and institutional dining. School districts—including Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, and Muscogee County School District—appear most frequently, with state agencies including Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office also active. These entities buy canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, specialty items, and related food-service consumables under IFB, RFP, and ITB notice types with firm fixed pricing and delivery to central warehouses or distributed school sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response due July 31, 2026) with Oregon goods and residency preferences totaling 10 percent; Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026). Large multi-district cooperatives, including GEC in Georgia, are expanding procurement scope and standardizing specifications across dozens of school systems. Buy American provisions are standard; most school solicitations require minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products. Pricing remains firm for contract periods unless manufacturers raise costs 5 percent or greater, with delivery to multiple sites and strict temperature and shelf-life requirements. Insurance requirements typically span $1 million to $2 million general commercial liability. This category shows consistent quarterly purchasing activity with school-year contract cycles (July start dates) and state agency year-round demand.
