UNSPSC 50363414: Canned or jarred black monukka grapes

The variety of table grapes known as black monukka grapes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50363414 Canned or jarred black monukka grapes is a Commodity code representing specialized canned fruit products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations for institutions including corrections facilities, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The code's nominal scope—black monukka grapes specifically—does not reflect the recent solicitation activity, which instead shows demand for a wider array of canned and shelf-stable fruit products including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed canned fruit items as components of larger institutional food contracts. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education and commissioners' offices, city school districts, and state facilities such as veterans homes and state supported living centers. The mix reflects institutional food service as the primary driver—prisons, schools, senior centers, and state hospitals all rely on commodity food procurement codes to stock their kitchens.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 1,900 cases in May 2026 and 4,760 cases in July 2026, with historical pricing around $21.83 per case), establishing applesauce as a staple under this code tier. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins due October 19, 2026, with delivery by December 7, 2026. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple RFPs for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2027 (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Comptroller's office on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice both issued IFBs for multi-hundred–line-item food and consumable procurements, with the HHSC supplemental food contract potentially valued at $4.5 million over three years and the TDCJ cafeteria food IFB extended to May 4, 2026. Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). The code sees steady institutional food service activity but no dominant single issuer or region—procurement is distributed across state and local food service operations nationwide.
