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

UNSPSC 50383947 Ruby cabernet grape purees is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable and processed fruit products sourced for institutional food service, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show minimal direct purchasing activity for ruby cabernet grape purees specifically. Instead, the recent solicitations reflect a broader pattern of state and local food-service procurement spanning canned and fresh produce, dried fruit products, and general commodity foodstuffs. The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), city nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas). These jurisdictions procure food items for corrections facilities, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The work involves competitive bidding under IFB, RFQ, and RFP structures with firm fixed pricing, delivery to designated distribution centers or facility locations, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, Buy American requirements in some cases, and performance-based vendor qualification including insurance, references, and product traceability.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the South and West with Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut representing the most visible procurement volume. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's RFP for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (both brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants) due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined state-goods and resident-bidder preference; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years. However, the code itself shows no directly posted opportunities specifically requesting ruby cabernet grape purees; the tagged opportunities address generic canned fruit, fresh produce, and general food commodities that do not match the specificity of the code's nominal scope.
