UNSPSC 50363619: Canned or jarred gewurztraminer grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363619 Canned or jarred gewurztraminer grapes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of recent state and local food procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code consistently solicit shelf-stable food items for institutional dining — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans homes, senior services, and state supported living centers — but the items purchased span conventional canned proteins, produce, dairy, bakery goods, condiments, and fresh fruits and vegetables rather than specialized wine-grape products. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables to serve state hospitals and supported living centers statewide illustrate the actual institutional food-service buying pattern. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas HHSC), state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), and county senior services (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the mismatch suggests that gewurztraminer grapes are not currently procured through state and local channels at volumes sufficient to generate RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Illinois, Texas, and Oregon, with individual solicitations from Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted dual ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 and S2910000016975) in May and July 2026 with response dates of June 2 and July 31 respectively, applying 5 percent Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident-bidder preferences and awarding based on lowest responsive and responsible bidding. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a 382-line-item IFB for cafeteria food products to supply TDCJ warehouse locations across five geographic regions, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026, awarding to single vendors per line item on best-value criteria. The Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for the fourth quarter of FY-27 with brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants (due dates June 17 and August 24, 2026). Given the consistent mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the institutional food-service work actually being bought, prospecting under this code would likely waste effort.
