UNSPSC 50563316: Non GMO french colombard grape purees

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO french colombard grapes which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50563316 Non GMO french colombard grape purees, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and county aging services. Recent opportunities tagged under this code reveal a broader pattern of demand: state and local nutrition buyers source shelf-stable and fresh produce, canned fruits, dried fruit products, and specialty food items for high-volume meal preparation. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and other staples) for the Department of Community Services exemplifies the typical scope, though the specific grape puree line item appears only incidentally within mixed-commodity food solicitations rather than as a standalone category. Issuing bodies across the code span county boards of education (Hancock County, Bridgeport), state corrections departments (Oregon ODOC, Texas TDCJ), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois veterans homes), independent school districts (Austin ISD), and county social services departments. Most solicitations are IFB or RFQ notices with response windows of two to four weeks; awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-unit cost basis.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (May and July 2026, dues June 2 and July 31 respectively) with 5 percent Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preferences; Texas procures food commodities statewide through multiple agencies including HHSC and TDCJ, with a $4.5 million three-year contract potential noted in a March 2026 IFB. Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and Georgia have also posted recent food procurement opportunities between May and October 2026. The code shows no standout repeat buyers beyond state corrections and state health service operations. Bid cycles typically require FOB destination delivery with all freight prepaid, USDA grade compliance, three-year record retention, commercial liability insurance starting at $500,000 to $1 million per occurrence, and compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content minimum for processed foods in school lunch contexts). No set-asides or DBE preferences appear consistently in the recent record; Texas SmartBuy administrative fees (1.5 percent) apply to state procurements. The apparent mismatch between the code name (non-GMO French Colombard grape purees) and the actual scope of recent solicitations — which center on mixed shelf-stable foods, canned fruits, and fresh produce rather than specialty grape products — suggests this code sees limited direct activity for the named commodity line.
