UNSPSC 50383871: Red blush grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50383871 Red blush grape purees is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed fruit products state and local governments source for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The recent opportunities show active procurement across diverse product categories nominally tagged under this code—fresh produce, canned and frozen fruits, dried fruit bars, applesauce, and shelf-stable food items for kitchens and dining facilities—though the sourcing pattern reflects broader institutional food supply rather than red blush grape purees specifically. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments (corrections, health and human services), city boards of education, state veterans homes, and county senior services, with school districts and state-operated institutional facilities appearing most frequently in the recent record. The work entails sourcing inventory at scale—typically 1,000 to 4,500 cases per procurement, firm fixed pricing per unit or case, FOB Destination delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and inventory management across multiple delivery sites or central distribution centers.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 18 and July 10, 2026, both due in early June or late July, historical award $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted three separate RFPs for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (June and August 2026, both brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two IFBs spanning supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers (May 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) and cafeteria food products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (May 4, 2026, extended via addendum); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (October 13, 2026, due October 19); Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (June 26, 2026); and Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education requested bids for 115 commodity line items including fruits and vegetables (June 2, 2026). Most solicitations are ITBs or RFQs with response windows of 7–30 days, firm fixed pricing expectations, Buy American or domestic-content requirements where applicable, and awards based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value.
