UNSPSC 50384000: Raisin grape purees

The variety of fruit known as raisin grapes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50384000 Raisin grape purees, a Class code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity evident in recent solicitations. The code's nominal title suggests focus on raisin and grape products, yet the recent opportunities show state and local governments buying canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, processed specialty foods, and broad grocery and food service staples for institutional meal programs—categories that span multiple UNSPSC families rather than concentrating within raisin and grape purees. The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement suggests that issuing bodies are either tagging food solicitations with this code as a catch-all or that the code's practical scope has drifted from its nominal definition.

Recent opportunities reveal issuing bodies across state departments, county school systems, independent school districts, and regional purchasing cooperatives. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport, Douglas County School System, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System have all posted solicitations tagged to this code between late January and July 2026. School nutrition programs dominate the buyer mix, with state facility food services (corrections, health facilities, supported living centers) accounting for secondary volume. Representative recent procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (due March 19, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri, with additional scattered activity in Virginia and Illinois. The code shows steady procurement velocity at the K–12 school nutrition level and institutional food service tier, though activity does not align with the raisin and grape puree category name. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify actual commodity alignment with each issuing body's specifications before bid preparation, as category mismatch appears systematic.
