UNSPSC 50363489: Canned or jarred summer royal grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363489 Canned or jarred summer royal grapes is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's literal scope; instead, issuing bodies are using this code tag for broader canned and jarred fruit procurement spanning applesauce, pears, and mixed fruit products for institutional food service. The recent opportunities show state departments of corrections, school districts, and health and human services agencies sourcing canned fruit products—primarily applesauce and supplemental fruits—through ITBs and RFPs, with firm fixed pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis and delivery to central warehouses or distribution centers. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers in the record, both procuring canned fruit in volume for inmate and patient food service. The work involves compliance with USDA commodity specifications, FDA food safety standards, and often Buy American provisions, with vendors managing cold-chain logistics and maintaining general liability insurance.

Geographic activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and South (Texas, Georgia) based on recent postings. Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026) and an earlier ITB for the same product (1,904 cases, response due June 2, 2026), both with Oregon goods and residency preferences totaling 10 percent; historical award was to Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner at approximately $21.83–21.84 per case. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792 and its revised iteration HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables including canned fruits statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers (210 line items, up to $4.5 million potential value, response due March 19, 2026). These procurements reflect institutional demand for shelf-stable, USDA-compliant canned fruit products with minimal inventory risk and predictable delivery cycles, though the code itself remains loosely matched to actual commodity being bought, indicating potential data-quality issues in how state agencies are tagging fruit procurement solicitations.
