UNSPSC 50363612: Canned or jarred chenin blanc grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363612 Canned or jarred chenin blanc grapes, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual food procurements being solicited under this code in state and local procurement. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show no activity for specialty grape products; instead, issuing bodies are soliciting canned and jarred fruit products spanning applesauce, pears, mixed produce, and broad commodity food categories for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health service operations. The issuing-body mix includes state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county and independent school districts (Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District), city agencies (City of Bridgeport), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. The code appears to suffer from a mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being bought.

Recent opportunities across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri show state and local governments soliciting canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), fresh produce and eggs (Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026), food supply and distribution services (Douglas County School System RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026), and supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792, due February 23, 2026). Pricing in recent bids ranges from approximately $21.84 per case for canned applesauce to estimated annual expenditures of $9 million for full food service distribution and $4.4 million for produce-and-eggs supply across multiple school districts. If this code is intended to cover general canned and jarred fruit procurement, the recent activity suggests demand from correctional and institutional food service; if it is meant to remain narrowly specific to chenin blanc grapes, the code shows no relevant recent state and local activity.
