UNSPSC 50363500: Canned or jarred raisin grapes

The type of grape known as raisin grapes that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50363500 Canned or jarred raisin grapes is a Class code that, based on recent state and local activity, does not reflect the goods actually being procured under this classification. State and local governments soliciting under this code are instead purchasing canned and jarred fruit products across broader categories—canned applesauce, canned pears, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food service supplies—rather than raisin grapes specifically. The issuing bodies span school districts, state departments, and correctional facilities. School nutrition programs represent the dominant buyer category, with multiple districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia) soliciting canned fruits, fresh produce, and comprehensive food service supplies under ITB and RFP notices. State agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice also procure canned fruits and food products. The procurement spans institutional food service for corrections, health and human services facilities, and child nutrition programs, with canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit items, and eggs constituting the primary line items.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case), the Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including produce and eggs for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026 (with historical spend of $1.5 million for the prior contract period), Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce (over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, and specialty produce due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026, requiring minimum 76 items from school delivery locations. The code sees sustained activity, though the mismatch between the nominal commodity classification (canned or jarred raisin grapes) and actual procurement (broad-based canned fruits, fresh produce, and food service supplies) signals that vendors should verify exact product specifications in each solicitation rather than rely on the code name alone.
