UNSPSC 50363494: Canned or jarred waltman cross grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363494 Canned or jarred waltman cross grapes, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity being solicited under it by state and local governments. Recent opportunities posted under this code span canned and fresh fruit, processed vegetables, proteins, dairy products, baked goods, and various shelf-stable food products for institutional cafeterias, food service programs, and nutrition centers rather than the narrow product line the code name suggests. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), municipal education agencies (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and county social services departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services in Georgia). These buyers are primarily procurement offices for corrections facilities, veterans homes, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being bought; no recent solicitations specifically target canned or jarred waltman cross grapes or any comparable specialty-fruit preserve products.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts requesting bids on approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic TDCJ warehouse regions under IFB 304T-26300CF, with a response due May 4, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring supplemental food and consumables statewide under IFB HHS0016792v2, with a bid deadline of March 19, 2026, and a potential three-year contract value of up to $4.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections requesting approximately 1,904 cases of canned applesauce under ITB S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, with a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods; Gwinnett County in Georgia requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services under IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, with proposals due August 24, 2026.
