UNSPSC 50363421: Canned or jarred chasselas/golden chasselas grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363421 Canned or jarred chasselas/golden chasselas grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable, packaged fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying canned and jarred fruit items—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food commodities—for schools, correctional facilities, senior services centers, veterans homes, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). The work involves procuring shelf-stable and refrigerated food items in bulk quantities—typically dozens to thousands of cases—for delivery to institutional distribution centers or on-site warehouses, with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination terms, and compliance with USDA commodity standards, FDA requirements, and Buy American provisions where applicable.

Recent activity is concentrated in the South and West. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (solicitations S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, at $21.84–$21.827 per case historically). Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables with a maximum three-year value of $4.5 million (HHS0016792V2, closed March 19, 2026) and another for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-year value of $1.5 million (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026). State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple RFPs for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, due dates in June and August 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 with over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). Bridgeport sought 115 line items of commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026). Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, issued an IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products for multiple warehouse locations (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). Awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with Oregon applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors, and Texas and Connecticut applying Buy American and MBE/CBE preferences where mandated by law.
