UNSPSC 50363640: Canned or jarred pinot blanc grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363640 Canned or jarred pinot blanc grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow food-service commodity that state and local governments procure primarily through general food and consumables solicitations rather than as standalone line items. The code appears rarely as an isolated purchasing driver; instead, canned and jarred fruit products surface as one component within large multi-category food-service buys for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state health agencies. Recent opportunities tag the category within broader produce and pantry-stock procurements covering dozens or hundreds of line items, where pricing and delivery matter far more than vendor specialization in a single fruit variety. Issuing bodies include state departments (corrections, health services), county boards of education and commissioners, independent school districts, and municipal nutrition centers. The work involves sealed bids or informal quotes on firm, fixed pricing with FOB Destination delivery, compliance with USDA commodity or food-safety standards, and detailed delivery schedules to centralized distribution points or school kitchens.

Recent activity shows concentrated purchasing in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued back-to-back ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975, June 2026, and S2910000017453, July 2026), establishing a recurring demand pattern for canned fruit at corrections facilities. Gwinnett County, Georgia purchased approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782, October 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (IFB HHS0016792V2, March 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food-service contracts for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-or-equal and brand-specific specifications (June and August 2026). Austin Independent School District requested dried fruit bars and apple crisps (RFP 27RFP004, July 2026). Canned or jarred pinot blanc grapes do not appear as a named line item in any posted opportunity; the code shows little recent standalone procurement activity despite the underlying fruit-commodity market remaining active in school nutrition, corrections, and senior services channels.
