UNSPSC 50363623: Canned or jarred lambrusco grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363623 Canned or jarred lambrusco grapes, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty preserved grape products—does not match the food service solicitations actually being tagged under it. Recent opportunities under this code span canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad-based food service commodity procurement for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state supported living centers, none of which center on lambrusco grapes or preserved specialty fruits. The mismatch suggests either misclassification at source or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for miscellaneous canned fruit line items rather than its intended commodity.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, multiple Georgia school systems), and county-level boards of education across Georgia and Missouri. The recent opportunities, primarily from mid-2026, are heavily concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest—Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and Missouri—with school nutrition programs and institutional food service representing the dominant purchasing pattern. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at state supported living centers (estimated prior-period value $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (approximately $9 million annually, due February 18, 2026). The code exhibits activity, but the lack of lambrusco-specific solicitations and the prevalence of general canned fruit and institutional food service purchases indicate that this Commodity code does not capture a distinct market segment in state and local procurement.
