UNSPSC 50363635: Canned or jarred muscat orange grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363635 Canned or jarred muscat orange grapes (Commodity) represents a niche product line within the broader shelf-stable fruit category that state and local governments buy primarily for food service operations—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations under this code show that issuing bodies acquire canned and jarred fruit products as components of multi-line food procurement RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The scope of work encompasses acquisition of case-lot canned fruit meeting USDA commodity or grade specifications, often specified as "or approved equivalent" to permit brand substitution, with delivery to central distribution centers, school nutrition facilities, or institutional food service points. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county purchasing offices, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, and municipal school districts across the United States.

Recent activity shows fragmented geographic distribution with visible procurement in Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and Hancock County Board of Education), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two comparable ITBs for canned fruit applesauce in May and July 2026, with bids due June 2 and July 31 respectively; the July solicitation (S2910000017453) specified 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners released an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned items with quotes due October 19, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services jointly solicited supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2) covering 210 line items with a bid deadline of March 19, 2026, and maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Buy American and prevailing wage provisions, where applicable, are standard; Oregon applies a 10 percent total preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders, and Texas and Connecticut enforce the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act's 51 percent domestic-content requirement for processed products.
