UNSPSC 50363648: Canned or jarred salvador grapes

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

UNSPSC 50363648 Canned or jarred salvador grapes is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products more broadly than the narrow code name suggests — state and local food service buyers use it to procure canned applesauce, canned fruit cocktail, and similar shelf-stable fruit items for institutional meal programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers and state hospitals, county school boards, city school districts, and county government nutrition or community services functions. Purchases range from a few hundred cases for a single facility to thousands of cases for statewide distribution networks. Work being solicited is straightforward: delivery of canned or jarred fruit products meeting USDA commodity specifications, USDA grade requirements where specified, FDA/Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act compliance, and minimum shelf-life standards — typically one year from best-use-by date. Products must be palletized, delivered FOB Destination to specified receiving locations (warehouses, distribution centers, facility kitchens), and meet firm pricing locked through the contract term or a specified period with adjustments permitted only at renewal or upon CPI-indexed adjustment formulas at the buyer's discretion.
