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 fruit- and vegetable-based purees, concentrates, and processed fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevant volume. The code designation appears inconsistent with the actual opportunities posted; the available records instead document bids for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-supply contracts spanning multiple product categories. School nutrition programs, state health and human services agencies, and correctional departments dominate the issuing bodies, with school districts posting the highest frequency of food-service solicitations. Oregon's Department of Corrections and Texas agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice, and school districts) appear repeatedly, reflecting standing demand for commodity food procurement. Procurement methods include Invitations for Bid (ITB), Requests for Proposal (RFP), and Requests for Quotation (RFQ), with firm fixed-price delivery terms, Buy American compliance, and USDA commodity specification requirements common across most solicitations.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Upper Midwest, with Texas and Georgia showing the densest posting frequency over the past six months. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a July 31, 2026 response deadline and historical pricing at $21.84 per case; the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual value and a March 4, 2026 proposal deadline; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with approximately $1.5 million historical value and a July 13, 2026 bid due date. Multiple school district RFPs issued in February through June 2026 cover grocery items, dried fruit products, and fresh produce with firm fixed pricing, delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites, and contract terms running through June 30, 2027. The code shows limited direct solicitation activity; vendors pursuing this classification should track broader institutional food-service awards under commodity and grocery-item codes, where actual market demand concentrates.
