UNSPSC 50363471: Canned or jarred red blush grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363471 Canned or jarred red blush grapes (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; recent solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect canned or jarred red blush grapes specifically, but rather a broader range of food products acquired by corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two invitations to bid for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975, due June 2, 2026), both requesting cases of USDA-compliant canned fruit, with the June posting calling for approximately 1,904 cases and the July posting for approximately 4,760 cases delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem. The code appears to capture preprocessed fruit products broadly, but recent activity focuses on applesauce rather than the red blush grapes named in the code definition.

Activity across state and local jurisdictions is dispersed: Oregon Department of Corrections appears twice; Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas Education entities represent the Texas procurement landscape; school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia show sustained procurement of fresh and processed fruit items; and the Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited quarterly food orders with brand-specific requirements. The geographic spread spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois. The broader food procurement environment—encompassing school nutrition, corrections, and state health facilities—uses cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia), RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear regularly. Recent opportunities show substantial contract values (the Douglas County School System estimated $9 million annually for food supply and distribution; the Texas HHSC supplemental food contract carried a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), but no opportunities in the source directly solicit canned or jarred red blush grapes as a standalone line item or primary commodity.
