UNSPSC 50383949 Sangiovese grape purees (Commodity) names a specific food product, but state and local governments purchasing under this code are actually buying a much broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food items for institutional food service — cafeterias, senior centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. Recent solicitations show school districts, county boards of education, state corrections departments, and health and human services agencies procuring canned and frozen fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy products, bakery items, and specialty foods under related UNSPSC codes and NIGP classifications that encompass this Commodity. The code itself appears in low-volume recent activity; instead, the market is characterized by institutional bulk purchasing of mixed food commodities where individual line items like applesauce, fruit bars, and fresh produce are bundled into larger food-service contracts.

Issuing bodies are primarily state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, county boards of education, city school districts, and county purchasing offices. Recent high-value procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (serving state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food products across five geographic regions), the Oregon Department of Corrections (recurring applesauce contracts), and school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with individual solicitations ranging from small county food purchases (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Bridgeport) to statewide institutional networks. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (1,904 cases, bids due June 2, 2026, ITB S-29100-00017453); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five warehouse locations (extended due date May 4, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (115 line items, bids due June 26, 2026).
