UNSPSC 50363426: Canned or jarred dauphine grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363426 Canned or jarred dauphine grapes (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's name references a specific grape varietal preserved in jars or cans, yet the available opportunities consistently solicit broader canned and fresh fruit categories—applesauce, pears, produce mixes, and mixed grocery items—for institutional food service. Recent buyers span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Austin ISD in Texas; Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County in Missouri; Hancock County, Liberty County, and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut). These issuing bodies procure canned fruit under tighter commodity specifications tied to USDA 2011 or commodity standards, typically with Buy American provisions, minimum shelf life (often one year), firm-fixed pricing on per-unit or per-case bases, and delivery to centralized distribution centers or individual school sites. The code activity does not show concentrated repeat buyers—instead, procurement is dispersed across multiple independent school districts and state agencies using separate solicitation processes, many coordinated through cooperative purchasing vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia.

Geographic activity centers on the South (Georgia, Texas, Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case under a 10% Oregon preference (goods plus headquarter location); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables statewide due February 23, 2026, with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million; and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery solicitation (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29) for over 900 line items with firm pricing and midterm adjustment provisions tied to manufacturer price changes of 5% or greater. The code shows activity but limited specificity to dauphine grapes; vendors pursuing this category should expect to bid on mixed canned fruit portfolios and institutional bulk quantities rather than a single preserved-grape line item.
