UNSPSC 50363608: Canned or jarred catarratto grapes

The variety of wine grapes known as catarratto grapes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50363608 Canned or jarred catarratto grapes (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The source shows fourteen recent opportunities spanning June 2026 back to January 2026, but none solicits catarratto grapes or any similar specialty grape product; instead, the tagged opportunities cover canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, weekly food orders, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service commodities for schools, state facilities, and corrections departments. The mismatch suggests either misclassification at posting or a code assignment error by issuing bodies, rendering the commodity code unreliable as a signal for actual procurement demand in this category.

Recent activity under related food-product codes shows heavy concentration among school districts and state agencies in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Connecticut. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Rockwood R-VI), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (ITB due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP due July 16, 2026), and the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB due July 13, 2026). Until the code-classification error is resolved, vendors pursuing canned or specialty fruit products should monitor broader commodity codes and school nutrition / corrections food-service categories rather than relying on this specific commodity code for sourcing opportunities.
