UNSPSC 50393601: Organic alicante bouschet grape purees

The variety of organic wine grapes known as organic alicante bouschet grapes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50393601 Organic alicante bouschet grape purees is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local opportunities, actually encompasses a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service — including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and other cafeteria and nutrition-program supplies. The code's nominal focus on a single specialty grape product does not align with the purchasing activity being solicited; state and local agencies are using this classification to buy general food commodities for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education and commissioners (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Bridgeport), and independent school districts (Austin ISD). The mix reflects institutional food service procurement across corrections, human services, education, and aging-services portfolios.

Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 and $21.827 per case respectively), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce for school year 2027 under IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026), and Austin ISD issued RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). Texas HHSC posted two large, multi-category food-and-consumables IFBs (HHS0017449 for El Paso facility, due July 13, 2026, with $1.5 million historical annual value; HHS0016792V2 for statewide state hospitals and living centers, due March 19, 2026, with $4.5 million potential over three years). The State of Illinois issued multiple quarterly food-order proposals for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal solicitations due August 24 and June 17, 2026).
