UNSPSC 50363437: Canned or jarred flame grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363437 Canned or jarred flame grapes, Commodity, does not align with the state and local procurement activity coded under it. The recent opportunities dataset shows no solicitations for canned or jarred flame grapes; instead, the category pulls together diverse fresh produce, canned fruit, and broad food-service procurement records that reflect how states and school districts actually classify general food supply contracts rather than this specific commodity. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned fruit applesauce in ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) and fruit pears in S2910000016081 (due March 6, 2026), but neither targets the narrow product described by the code name. Similarly, Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office sought weekly food orders including brand-specific items (due June 17, 2026), yet these procurement bodies are using mismatched or overloaded UNSPSC classifications.

The broader pattern reveals that state and local jurisdictions—including school districts, correctional departments, health and human services agencies, and state purchasing offices across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and Missouri—solicit canned, frozen, and fresh food products through IFB, RFP, and ITB methods, with responses typically due within 30–60 days and pricing quoted on per-unit, per-case, or per-serving bases. The issuing-body mix leans heavily toward school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and state-administered facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, State of Illinois). Geographic activity spans the South (Georgia, Texas), Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Northeast (Connecticut). Most school food service solicitations enforce Buy American provisions and specific nutritional standards, require firm pricing for the contract year, and include renewal options. The mismatch between code name and actual sourced commodities signals that procurement staff are either overapplying a narrow UNSPSC code to general food categories or that the code itself is unused for its intended product. For business development purposes, this code presents low signal value; focus instead on the broader food-service procurement codes under which school districts and state agencies actively solicit.
