UNSPSC 50363634: Canned or jarred muscat of alexandria grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363634 Canned or jarred muscat of alexandria grapes is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much broader range of shelf-stable food products — canned fruits, vegetables, proteins, and pantry staples — than the code's specific nomenclature suggests. State and local governments procure these items primarily through county boards of education, state departments serving correctional facilities and supported-living centers, and municipal school nutrition programs. Solicitations typically specify USDA commodity grades, shelf-life minimums (commonly one year or longer), compliance with the Buy American Provision for processed foods (51 percent domestic content threshold), packaging and pallet specifications, and firm fixed pricing inclusive of transportation on FOB Destination terms. Award methodology varies between lowest responsive and responsible bidder and best-value evaluation; quantities range from approximately 1,900 cases for single correctional facilities to over 4,700 cases for multi-site institutional food service. Vendors must maintain general commercial liability insurance (typically $1 million per occurrence), provide three references, comply with HACCP plans or equivalent food safety protocols where required, and demonstrate past performance through state vendor-tracking systems.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (35 line items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces, due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem over five truckloads (bids due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales); and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supplying the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million (proposals due July 13, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued multiple quarterly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (two solicitations posted August 19, 2026, with proposals due August 24). Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut's bid for 115 commodity line items under the Russell National School Lunch Act (due June 26, 2026, through the OpenGov Procurement Portal) illustrate the breadth of products and jurisdictional buyers active under this code across institutional food service.
