UNSPSC 50383931: Montepulciano grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50383931 Montepulciano grape purees is a Commodity code that shows little alignment with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The source records fourteen recent opportunities spanning February through July 2026, and none of them solicit Montepulciano grape purees or grape purees of any kind. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code procure canned applesauce and pears, dried fruit bars, fresh produce including apples and berries, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables, eggs, comprehensive food service products for correctional facilities and state-supported living centers, school nutrition meals and supplies, and general food commodities for institutional food service. The code's nominal scope—a single varietal juice product—does not match the breadth and diversity of goods actually being solicited.

State and local governments buying under this code classification are school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Dallas ISD, Liberty County, Hancock County, and Muscogee County), state departments and agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), county school boards (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). The geographic spread spans Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Recent representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce 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 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code shows consistent activity under IFB and RFP notice types, with firm-fixed or cost-plus pricing structures, Buy American compliance requirements, and multi-vendor award patterns. The actual procurement appears driven by institutional food service demand rather than the premium varietal juice product the code nominally describes.
