UNSPSC 50384005: Selma pete grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50384005 Selma Pete Grape Purees, a Commodity code, describes processed fruit purees and concentrates that state and local governments procure for institutional food service. However, recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code show minimal direct activity in grape purees themselves; instead, the posted opportunities reflect a much broader scope of shelf-stable and fresh food products for school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and county nutrition programs. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and county social services departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services). The work being solicited encompasses institutional food procurement—canned proteins, fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy products, condiments, and consumable supplies—rather than specialized fruit purees, suggesting the code classification may not align tightly with current procurement practice or that purchasing offices are applying this code to broader food-service aggregations.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Midwest (Illinois), with recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (informal written quotes); Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing, with a five percent Oregon-goods preference; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumables with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually; and Austin Independent School District's June 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps. The code sees active but generalized food-service procurement rather than concentrated demand for grape purees specifically, indicating that pursuit decisions should focus on vendors' capability to respond to multi-category institutional food supply aggregations across multiple customer types rather than specialized fruit-processing expertise.
