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

UNSPSC 50363419 Canned or jarred cardinal grapes (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to this code request canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service supplies for correctional facilities, schools, and health institutions—none of which are cardinal grapes or grape products. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 (posted February 26, 2026) solicited 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables including frozen and canned goods across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Food procurement under this nominal code actually covers institutional food service bundled across multiple product categories—proteins, grains, produce, dairy, and prepared entrees—rather than a single specialty item. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county school districts, and municipal school systems across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs representing the largest concentration of recent activity.

Geographic spread spans the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), South (Texas, Georgia), Midwest (Missouri), Northeast (Connecticut), and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia), with Texas and Georgia school districts showing the heaviest recent solicitation volume. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items (bids due June 26, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 requiring minimum bidding on 76 of 89 school-delivery items (bids due April 27, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (June 26, 2026) commodity bid for 115 line items to the Board of Education Nutrition Center. Bidders face firm fixed-price requirements over multi-year terms, Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content in processed foods, insurance minimums of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence, USDA and FDA compliance, and delivery to multiple school or facility locations on tight schedules. The code shows steady activity but mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement content—pursue only if your firm supplies institutional food service bundles across multiple categories, not specialty grape products.
