UNSPSC 50393608: Organic catarratto grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50393608 Organic catarratto grape purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific varietal grape product, but the recent solicitations show state and local governments buying broad shelf-stable and fresh food supplies for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, senior services, and veterans' homes. Issuing bodies span state procurement offices (Texas HHSC, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of education and commissioners (Gwinnett County, Hancock County in Georgia, Bridgeport in Connecticut), independent school districts (Austin ISD), and specialized state agencies (Texas DSHS). The work being solicited includes proteins, dairy, frozen entrees, canned and fresh vegetables and fruits, grains, condiments, baking supplies, and consumables — with many opportunities requiring USDA compliance, specific grade certificates, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items in several school-district bids), and delivery within 7 to 45 days to multiple distribution points.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. Gwinnett County (Georgia) posted an IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (most recent due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITBs for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026 and June 2, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) sought fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple IFBs covering food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers, with a May 2026 posting carrying a potential three-year value of $4.5 million. Bridgeport (Connecticut) and Austin Independent School District (Texas) also posted bids during this period. The code's narrow product definition — organic catarratto grape purees specifically — bears little practical alignment with the broad institutional food-service procurement activity shown in the recent solicitations, suggesting limited relevance for vendors focused on that specific commodity.
