UNSPSC 50393411: Organic black emerald grape purees

The variety of organic table grapes known as organic black emerald grapes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50393411 Organic black emerald grape purees is a Commodity code that represents specialty processed fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service. Recent solicitations under this code, however, show minimal activity specifically targeting organic grape purees; instead, state and local bodies are buying a much broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food products for correctional facilities, schools, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, county senior services, independent school districts, city boards of education, and state veterans' homes. Purchases are structured as IFBs, RFPs, and informal written quotes (IWQs), with sealed-bid and electronic-submission protocols standard across jurisdictions. Most solicitations require firm fixed pricing, delivery to specified institutional locations, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and minimum insurance coverage of $500,000 to $2,000,000 in commercial general liability.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent postings. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (May and July 2026), applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-based bidders. Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers (May 2026, estimated maximum value $4.5 million over three years) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (May 2026, extended to June) represent larger-scale opportunities. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (October 2026, due October 19). Austin Independent School District sought proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (June 2026, due July 16). The code shows limited recent solicitation activity specifically for organic grape purees; most opportunities instead target commodity-grade canned fruits, fresh produce, and institutional meal components. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor state and local school district nutrition programs, corrections food service contracts, and senior services procurement channels, as these remain the primary end users.
