UNSPSC 50563363: Non GMO viognier grape purees

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

UNSPSC 50563363 Non GMO viognier grape purees (Commodity) represents a narrow specialty produce category that state and local governments rarely solicit directly by name; the recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations for viognier grape purees specifically. Instead, state and local food service procurement under related Commodity codes targets shelf-stable and fresh produce broadly — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce assortments, and comprehensive food supply contracts that bundle proteins, dairy, grains, fruits, and vegetables. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and county commissioners, independent school districts, city nutrition centers, and state veterans homes. Procurement methods include IFB (Invitation for Bid), RFQ (Request for Quotation), and RFP (Request for Proposal), with awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value criteria. Food service contracts frequently incorporate Buy American preferences under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, require USDA commodity compliance, and specify firm fixed pricing for the contract term, often with limited price-adjustment provisions tied to consumer price indices or approved manufacturer lists.

Recent activity spans multiple states and regions. Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce twice in 2026 (May and July ITBs, each for approximately 1,900–4,760 cases), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, the State of Georgia and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice) have issued broad food-supply IFBs, and school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas have posted fresh produce and cafeteria food product bids. Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP due July 16, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposal due July 13, 2026) and a supplemental food procurement covering state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (bid deadline March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). Vendors pursuing this category should expect Buy American compliance requirements, FOB destination delivery terms, three-year record retention, liability insurance minimums of $1 million per occurrence, and pre-bid questions deadlines one to two weeks before proposal submission. Viognier grape puree as a specialty item does not appear in recent state and local opportunities; entry would require positioning through broader food-supply or specialty produce frameworks rather than direct category matching.
