UNSPSC 50363442: Canned or jarred gamay grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363442 Canned or jarred gamay grapes, a Commodity code, shows limited direct relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific preserved fruit product, but the recent solicitations tagged under it predominantly solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and general food service supply — items outside the gamay grape scope. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity definition and the breadth of food-service procurement activity it is being assigned suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a catch-all for preserved and processed fruit categories. State and local buying bodies posting under this code include departments of corrections, school nutrition programs across multiple districts, state health and human services commissions, and school boards. Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, reflecting a nationwide distribution centered on institutional food service for corrections facilities, public schools, and state health agencies.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the actual scope of procurement under the code's current tagging. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (not gamay grapes) for delivery to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, with bids due July 31, 2026, under a 5 percent Oregon-goods preference and a 5 percent Oregon-vendor preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products including canned and processed fruits to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and subordinate Department of State Health Services facilities, with proposals due July 13, 2026, and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple apple, berry, vegetable, and specialty produce categories for the 2026–27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, and firm pricing required for the full contract period. The code demonstrates consistent tagging across institutional food service procurement but minimal alignment with the gamay grape commodity itself.
