UNSPSC 50393628: Organic merlot grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50393628 Organic merlot grape purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under this code does not align with the code's nominal scope. The 13 recent opportunities in the block show no procurement of merlot grape purees or similar specialty fruit purees; instead, issuing bodies are purchasing broad ranges of food and consumable products — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, grocery staples, cafeteria entrees, dairy, proteins, and general food service supplies — across school districts, state departments, and corrections facilities. The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual buying patterns suggests this Commodity code either sees minimal relevant activity or is frequently mistagged by state and local procurement offices when capturing more general food service and child nutrition procurement.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Douglas County Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and county systems (Muscogee County Schools, Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, Illinois, and other states, with school nutrition procurement dominating the activity. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 Georgia school districts, proposals due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. The code does not surface meaningful activity in specialty fruit purees and warrants verification before pursuit.
