UNSPSC 50363628: Canned or jarred merlot grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363628 Canned or jarred merlot grapes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity; the opportunities tagged under this code procure canned and fresh produce items bearing no relationship to merlot grapes specifically. The recent block includes solicitations for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce and eggs, and broad food-service procurement for correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and school nutrition programs across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois—none of which reference merlot grapes or wine-adjacent products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or minimal real-world procurement activity under this specific commodity code.

State and local issuing bodies posting to this code include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts in multiple states (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, and Douglas County), the City of Bridgeport Connecticut, and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office. The geographic spread spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables for state facilities statewide (210 line items, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (multiple elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens, contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). Given the code's apparent disconnect from actual procurement activity, pursuit is not recommended without clarification from the source data or issuing body.
