UNSPSC 50383866: Perlette grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50383866 Perlette grape purees is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh fruit and processed fruit products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service operations, including school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, and senior services. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show minimal specific activity: of the thirteen recent state and local solicitations in the dataset, only one directly names a grape product (none reference perlette grape purees by name), while the remainder address broader fresh produce, canned fruit, dried fruit products, and general food commodities. The code appears to capture a narrow product line within a much broader institutional food procurement environment where state and local buyers typically solicit across multiple fruit categories and processed fruit formats simultaneously—canned applesauce, fresh produce assortments spanning apples and berries, dried fruit bars, and commodity-grade shelf-stable foods. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas, Illinois), county school boards (Hancock County Georgia, Austin Independent School District Texas), county social services (Gwinnett County Georgia), and municipal boards of education (Bridgeport Connecticut).

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent bids posted from Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0016792v2, issued May 19, 2026, covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated foods across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned fruit applesauce bids (ITB S-29100-00017453, posted July 10, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975, posted May 18, 2026, each requesting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and Oregon vendor preferences totaling 10 percent), and the Texas Comptroller's TDCJ cafeteria food products solicitation (IFB 304T-26-300CF, originally due April 21, extended to May 4, 2026, encompassing 382 line items across six distribution points). None of the posted opportunities specifically target perlette grape purees as a standalone procurement line, suggesting the code may see limited direct solicitation volume or may be applied inconsistently across jurisdictions purchasing mixed fruit assortments under broader commodity codes.
