UNSPSC 50393409: Organic beauty seedless grape purees

The variety of organic table grapes known as organic beauty seedless grapes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50393409 Organic beauty seedless grape purees is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a narrow food product category, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the code's stated scope. The posted solicitations span generic food procurement for correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals—encompassing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and broad-line food distribution, none of which match organic grape purees. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is being used as a default catchall for food commodity procurement without regard to product specificity. The actual work being solicited under this code includes contracted food supply for institutional food service operations—cafeterias, nutrition centers, state-supported living facilities, and correctional institutions—with emphasis on USDA compliance, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and commodity or processed-food specifications rather than specialty organic products.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for the Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), school districts and nutrition programs (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District), and local education agencies (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts issuing separate solicitations for fresh produce, grocery items, and specialized food products on annual cycles aligned to school years running July through June. Geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri) with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Midwest (Illinois, Missouri), and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia) regions. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, targeting 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case with Oregon-goods and Oregon-bidder preferences totaling 10 percent; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with historical spend of $1.5 million annually and awards on best-value terms including past vendor performance; and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, with Buy American requirements and delivery to three school locations. School districts typically require firm fixed pricing for the full contract year, FOB destination with freight prepaid, weekly or scheduled deliveries to multiple school sites during defined hours, HACCP or food safety certifications, and general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence.
