UNSPSC 50363627: Canned or jarred mataro grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363627 Canned or jarred mataro grapes is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within the broader fresh and processed fruit category; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance, as opportunities tagged with it predominantly solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food service supplies rather than canned or jarred grapes specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB on July 10, 2026, for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), applying Oregon goods and resident bidder preferences totaling 10 percent; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items including canned goods, due February 23, 2026); and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited quarterly food orders with brand-specific requirements (due June 17, 2026). School districts dominate recent activity under this code family—Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System all posted solicitations for groceries, fresh produce, and food service supplies in the April-to-July 2026 window. Other issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC, Illinois CPO), county school systems (Muscogee County, Douglas County), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut).

Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with the heaviest concentration in Texas (multiple HHSC, TDCJ, and school district solicitations) and Georgia (multiple county school districts). The code shows significant fragmentation across food service procurement rather than concentration in canned grape products—the recent opportunities reflect state and local governments' routine procurement of packaged and canned fruit items as part of broader cafeteria and food service supply contracts. Representative recent solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and Robbins Sales as prior awardee), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026, minimum 76 items from school delivery section with nine-month shelf-life requirement), and Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items across multiple food categories, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). The code itself does not see direct activity for mataro grapes; state and local governments are buying canned fruit generically as part of food service operations, with purchasing emphasis on cost, compliance with Buy American provisions, delivery logistics, and supplier reliability rather than grape-specific sourcing.
