UNSPSC 50363483: Canned or jarred scuppernong grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363483 Canned or jarred scuppernong grapes is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely solicit under this specific designation; instead, recent activity shows purchasing officers tagging general canned fruit procurements—particularly applesauce, pears, and other preserved fruits—under codes nominally reserved for regional or specialty items. The mismatch signals that this code sees little focused activity for scuppernong grapes specifically. When state and local bodies do buy canned or jarred fruits for institutional food service, they solicit through broader canned-fruit family codes and issue ITBs, RFPs, or IFBs naming applesauce, mixed fruit, or commodity-grade preserved goods in bulk quantities destined for corrections facilities, school districts, health and human services centers, and institutional kitchens. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia, Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia, Austin ISD in Texas, Dallas ISD in Texas, Fairfax County in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), and special-purpose state facilities (Texas TDCJ prison kitchens, state hospitals and supported living centers).

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response due July 31, 2026) with a historical price of $21.84 per case and Oregon goods preference of up to 10 percent combined; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned goods for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million); and the Texas Comptroller's TDCJ cafeteria-food IFB 304T26300CF covering approximately 382 line items of proteins, grains, and preserved fruits for multiple prison warehouse locations across Texas (extended response deadline May 4, 2026). All require firm fixed pricing FOB destination with prepaid freight, minimum insurance coverage ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability depending on issuer), and compliance with USDA commodity specifications. The code itself shows little targeted scuppernong activity; business development professionals should monitor broader canned-fruit family codes and institutional food-service solicitations from corrections, state health, and school-nutrition buyers in the target states.
