UNSPSC 50363416: Canned or jarred black seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363416 Canned or jarred black seedless grapes is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of packaged fruit products for institutional food service, though recent opportunities under this code code span broader canned and fresh fruit categories rather than black seedless grapes specifically. State and local buyers—primarily school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies—procure canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and other fruit-based items through ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) have posted recent opportunities. Scope ranges from institutional canned goods meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications and Buy American provisions (51% domestic content for processed products) to fresh produce delivered weekly to multiple school sites with strict temperature, shelf-life, and nutritional requirements. Contracts typically run 12 months with firm-fixed pricing and renewal options spanning two to four additional years.
