UNSPSC 50363624: Canned or jarred malbec grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363624 Canned or jarred malbec grapes is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The source shows no solicitations specifically requesting canned or jarred malbec grapes; instead, recent opportunities tagged under this code involve broader food service procurement for institutional buyers — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food products for schools, correctional facilities, and state health agencies. These misfiled opportunities signal that the code either sees sparse genuine activity or that state and local procurement systems are applying it to tangential or unrelated items. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Hancock County), and municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport). The geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with school districts dominating the recent opportunity list.

Representative recent solicitations show the code is being applied to food categories well outside canned malbec grapes. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31, 2026), requesting 4,760 cases delivered to Salem with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, covering over 200 line items with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and a contract term from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with one renewal option. School districts dominate the opportunity volume: Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 service across 45 schools and distribution centers with weekly deliveries and a July 1, 2026 start date, and Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution across 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. If your firm pursues this code, expect to compete on canned fruit, applesauce, and general institutional food supply — not malbec grapes specifically — and focus on school districts and state health agencies in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest.
