UNSPSC 50363478: Canned or jarred rouge grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363478 Canned or jarred rouge grapes (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code, which consistently procure canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad food supply categories rather than grape-specific products. The mismatch suggests the code is used as a catch-all placeholder in state procurement systems for food items outside narrower commodity classifications, or that tagging practices diverge from the code's nominal scope. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Hancock County, Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon DOC, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport), with school nutrition services dominating the recent activity. The work being solicited—canned fruit, fresh produce, grocery staples, and comprehensive food service supply—reflects institutional foodservice procurement for K-12 meal programs and custodial or state-facility operations rather than packaged consumer goods.

The geographic spread spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, and Missouri, with Texas showing the most recent density (HHSC, TDCJ, and Dallas ISD all posted procurements since February 2026) and school districts in the Southeast (Georgia) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia) representing sustained activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (historical price $21.84 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period; the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, estimated $5.5 million annually, proposals due March 4, 2026. Buy American provisions, firm fixed pricing, delivery-to-location logistics, and compliance with USDA commodity standards appear across all categories; school districts typically enforce nutritional specifications, artificial-ingredient prohibitions, and shelf-life requirements.
