UNSPSC 50363502: Canned or jarred canner grapes

The variety of raisin grapes known as canner grapes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50363502 Canned or jarred canner grapes, a Commodity code, sees limited direct activity but appears in food service procurement across state departments, corrections facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies purchasing canned fruit products—particularly canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and supplemental food supplies for institutional food service. The code sits within broader food commodity purchasing where state and local buyers source shelf-stable processed fruit to support cafeterias, correctional institutions, and residential care facilities. Recent opportunities tagged to this code reveal that agencies are procuring canned and processed fruit items under standing term contracts, though the specific code appears to capture only a narrow slice of the wider institutional food supply chain. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts (Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) are active buyers, but most are soliciting across broader food categories rather than grapes specifically.

Recent opportunities show Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) with estimated volume of 4,760 cases and a historical price of $21.84 per case; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) covering broad food service categories with prior-period value of $1.5 million; and multiple school nutrition programs across Georgia and Missouri issuing IFBs and RFPs for grocery items, fresh produce, and food supplies throughout the first half of 2026. Activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Missouri) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with school districts representing the largest customer base followed by state corrections and health agencies. Most solicitations use IFB or RFP methods with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and annual contract terms with renewal options. Buyers apply Buy American provisions, USDA commodity compliance, and liability insurance requirements (typically $1 million general liability minimum). No specific set-asides or disadvantaged-business preferences are flagged in this code's recent opportunities, though Texas agencies reference HUB subcontracting encouragement where applicable.
