UNSPSC 50363400: Canned or jarred table grapes

The type of grape known as table grapes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50363400 Canned or jarred table grapes is a Class code that sees minimal direct solicitation under its narrow commodity definition; recent state and local opportunities instead reflect broader food-service procurement spanning canned fruits, fresh produce, and grocery supply more generally. The code's nominal scope—table grapes preserved in jars or cans—does not align with the actual work being bought in the posted opportunities, which center on fresh produce contracts, canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and bulk grocery items for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and Douglas County School System), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and a municipal education system (Bridgeport Board of Education). Most activity clusters in the K–12 school nutrition space, where districts procure fresh produce and packaged food items on annual cycles; state correctional and human-services facilities represent a secondary but consistent buyer segment.

Recent opportunities center on fresh produce and bulk grocery supply across the Southeast and Texas. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (response due July 16, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with an estimated annual value of approximately $5.5 million (response due March 4, 2026). The Muscogee County School District solicited approximately 60 produce line items (ITB 26-017, response due April 27, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for a Master Grocery K-12 contract supplying 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumable products across state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide (response due February 23, 2026, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years). Activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with school districts and state agency food-service operations as the primary buying centers. The code shows little targeted demand for canned or jarred table grapes specifically; pursuits under this code should focus on the broader fresh and processed produce procurement patterns dominating school nutrition and institutional food-service buying cycles.
