UNSPSC 50363466: Canned or jarred perlette grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363466 Canned or jarred perlette grapes is a Commodity code that sees minimal application to actual state and local procurement; the recent opportunities posted under this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and broad food-service commodity categories rather than perlette grapes specifically. State and local buying under this taxonomy spans food service for correctional institutions, school nutrition programs, health and human services facilities, and institutional food supply, with issuing bodies including state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county and municipal school districts, and special-purpose district school nutrition programs. The work solicited includes canned and processed fruit products meeting USDA specifications, fresh produce, eggs, and ancillary food-service supplies, procured through ITB, RFP, and IFB mechanisms with firm-fixed pricing, delivery to central distribution points or individual school sites, and compliance with Buy American provisions and federal food safety standards.

Recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Connecticut jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and 5% combined state-of-origin and resident-bidder preferences; the Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two geographic areas with estimated spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by region, closing March 4, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide serving state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years, now extended to February 23, 2026. School nutrition program procurements dominate the recent pipeline, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) all actively soliciting master grocery, produce, and specialty food contracts. The code shows activity but lacks clarity of focus—the nominal commodity (perlette grapes) is absent from all recent solicitations, signaling either broad tagging practices or misalignment between the code definition and actual procurement use.
