UNSPSC 50363600: Canned or jarred wine grapes

The type of grape known as wine grapes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50363600 Canned or jarred wine grapes, a Class code, appears in state and local procurement primarily as a misfiled or catch-all category; the recent opportunities tagged under it involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and a range of food service items bearing no relationship to wine grapes. State and local buyers—primarily school districts, correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and institutional food service operations—use this code to solicit canned and preserved fruit products, fresh produce, and food commodities for school nutrition programs, inmate feeding, and state facility meal service. The buying pattern reflects standard K–12 and state institutional food procurement: sealed bids or RFPs for annual contracts, firm fixed pricing with limited adjustment provisions, delivery to central warehouses or distributed school sites, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and Buy American requirements, and awards to lowest responsive bidders or best-value vendors based on price and service capability.

Geographic activity spans multiple states, with recent opportunities from Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections, canned applesauce, ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), Texas (Austin Independent School District, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026; Texas HHSC and TDCJ food service procurement; Dallas ISD various food products, RFP JC250079, due April 2, 2026), Illinois (State Chief Procurement Office quarterly food orders, due June 17, 2026), Georgia (Hancock County Schools fresh produce, IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026; Liberty County and Muscogee County school districts; Savannah-Chatham County produce, Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026; Douglas County schools cooperative buying), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items and NOI products, due April 29, 2026), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education commodities, due June 26, 2026), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12, IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with secondary participation from state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and regional education cooperatives. Contract values where disclosed range from approximately $1.5 million annually (Texas HHSC El Paso facility, IFB HHS0017449) to $9 million (Douglas County Schools food supply and distribution) and up to $4.5 million over three years (Texas HHSC statewide supplemental food procurement). The code does not map cleanly to the nominal category name; treat it as an administrative artifact and evaluate opportunities on their actual food commodity and institutional food service scope.
