UNSPSC 50363480: Canned or jarred ruby red seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363480 Canned or jarred ruby red seedless grapes (Commodity) does not reflect the active procurement patterns in the recent opportunities block. The code's nominal scope—ruby red seedless grapes in shelf-stable form—appears in none of the recent state and local solicitations. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code center on broader canned and shelf-stable fruit procurement, including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, canned pears, fresh produce, eggs, and multipurpose grocery and food-service supply contracts. The divergence between the code name and actual buying patterns suggests either broad tagging practices by issuing jurisdictions or a mismatch in taxonomy application. When the code does see activity, it is driven primarily by school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and independent school districts procuring bulk food for institutional meal service.

Recent opportunities show issuing bodies across multiple states and jurisdiction types: the Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB for canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026); Austin Independent School District in Texas (RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026); the Illinois Chief Procurement Office (quarterly food orders with brand-specific requirements, due June 17, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB for fresh produce, due June 26, 2026); the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases (for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, due June 26, 2026); Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP for fresh produce and eggs through GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts, due March 4, 2026); and Dallas Independent School District (RFP for various food products, due April 2, 2026). Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. Procurement activity is fragmented across numerous small to mid-size solicitations with institutional food service at core, and the code shows no dominant repeat buyers or concentration in a single region or issuing-body type.
