UNSPSC 50363415: Canned or jarred black pearl grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363415 Canned or jarred black pearl grapes is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable grape products in canned or jarred form procured by state and local food service programs, correctional facilities, schools, senior services, and health and human services agencies. State and local governments do not solicit black pearl grapes specifically under this code; the recent opportunities block contains no dedicated procurements for this product line. Related canned fruit solicitations—such as applesauce bids from the Oregon Department of Corrections and broader food-and-consumables RFPs from school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs—demonstrate that canned fruit is purchased as part of larger food-service commodity bundles rather than as standalone line items. When canned fruit appears in state and local RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, it typically sits alongside proteins, dairy, vegetables, and specialty entrees in comprehensive food-supply contracts valued at hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars annually.

The issuing bodies purchasing canned fruit products span state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county school systems (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), county human services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), municipal boards of education (City of Bridgeport in Connecticut), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Geographic activity in the most recent opportunities concentrates in the South and West—Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut—with repeated solicitations from Texas state agencies and Georgia county governments. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to supply an El Paso State Supported Living Center with deliveries beginning September 1, 2026, and the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned items with delivery by December 7, 2026. No recent solicitations specifically target black pearl grapes; vendors pursuing this code should monitor broader canned-fruit and food-service commodity solicitations where grapes might appear as a line item within larger awards.
