UNSPSC 50363423: Canned or jarred concord grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363423 Canned or jarred concord grapes is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within fruit procurement that state and local governments buy primarily through nutrition and food service contracts for K-12 schools, state facilities, and institutional food operations. However, the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for canned or jarred concord grapes; instead, state and local agencies are soliciting more broadly for canned fruit (applesauce, mixed canned goods), fresh produce, and comprehensive food service supply contracts that may include canned fruit as line items but do not isolate concord grapes as a distinct procurement focus. The scope of what is actually being bought under related canned-fruit and broader food-commodity codes reflects institutional food service demand across multiple jurisdictions, with school districts dominating the solicitation volume, but the code itself shows no recent dedicated procurement activity.

State and local procurement under UNSPSC 50363423 and related canned-fruit categories is fragmented across school districts, state corrections facilities, state health and human services agencies, and municipal school boards, with school nutrition programs emerging as the primary buying segment. Recent activity includes the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services procuring supplemental food and consumables statewide including canned goods (IFB HHS0016792, closed as of June 2026), and multiple school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Connecticut issuing food commodity bids that encompass canned fruits and vegetables as line items within larger food-service solicitations. Geographic spread is national, with active recent solicitations in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, reflecting distributed school-district procurement across multiple states rather than concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative opportunities tied to canned-fruit categories include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, closed Jun 2, 2026, with continuation activity reported in July 2026), the Texas HHSC supplemental food procurement (IFB HHS0016792, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), and school district food commodity bids such as Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for food products (Liberty County, Georgia, due April 29, 2026) where canned fruits appear as line items within broader grocery or produce contracts.
