UNSPSC 50363629: Canned or jarred meunier grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363629 Canned or jarred meunier grapes, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under recent state and local procurement activity. State and local governments are not sourcing canned meunier grapes; instead, the recent opportunities tagged under this code span a broad range of prepared and fresh food products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, bulk grocery supplies, and food service distribution—across corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and health and human services agencies. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Hancock County), county boards of education, and municipal food service operations (City of Bridgeport Connecticut). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with repeated solicitations from multiple districts for annual grocery, produce, and specialty food contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, with school districts across the Southeast and West Coast driving consistent procurement cycles. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing of $21.84 per case), Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperative districts (estimated $5.5 million annually across two geographic areas, due March 4, 2026). School district procurements typically run July through June annually and emphasize Buy American compliance, USDA commodity specifications, firm fixed pricing, and delivery to multiple school sites. The code shows substantial recent activity but systematic misalignment with its nominal scope—it is being used as a catch-all for food service products rather than as a precise classifier.
