UNSPSC 50383919: Gewurztraminer grape purees

The variety of wine grapes known as gewurztraminer grapes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50383919 Gewurztraminer grape purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope. The few records tagged to the code document solicitations for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, frozen entrees, eggs, and miscellaneous food service consumables—none of which are Gewurztraminer grape purees or grape-based products. The code appears to be a taxonomy mislabeling artifact: state and local procurement offices are tagging broad food-service and school-nutrition work to this narrow commodity designation, likely because their systems lack more precise produce or ingredient categories or because procurement staff applied the code incorrectly during catalog lookup. School districts, state agencies, and corrections departments are the issuing bodies, and their actual purchasing focus is on bulk food items for cafeteria operations, institutional feeding, and nutrition programs—staple proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods in case-lot or per-unit quantities.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the South and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Oregon (canned applesauce and fruit pears, Oregon Department of Corrections), Georgia (five school districts and county boards of education, plus Douglas County School System for a regional cooperative), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers and hospitals, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Dallas Independent School District), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office). Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), 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 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas). The underlying procurement activity is robust and recurring—school-year contracts, institutional food service, and seasonal reorders—but the UNSPSC code assignment does not reflect the work being bought.
