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 encompassing prepared fruit products, particularly purees and processed fruit preparations, that state and local governments procure for food service operations across schools, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and county nutrition programs. The recent opportunities block shows that while this specific code title references grape purees, the actual solicitations tagged under it span a broader range of processed and fresh fruit items including applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce for school nutrition, corrections dining, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), county nutrition programs (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipal education systems (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). The procurement mix reflects institutional food service for corrections, long-term care, schools, and social services rather than commercial food manufacturing or retail supply.

Recent activity spans multiple states with concentrated representation in the South and West. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies, and Georgia jurisdictions (state, county, and city) dominate the recent opportunity set. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million for the prior year), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, with historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case), the Texas Comptroller IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across TDCJ warehouse locations (382 line items, extended due date May 4, 2026), and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026, contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). Buy American requirements and prevailing wage compliance are standard across these opportunities. Oregon applies combined state-of-origin preferences totaling up to 10 percent; Texas and Connecticut enforce the 51 percent domestic content rule under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.
