UNSPSC 50373401: Canned or jarred organic alicante grapes

The variety of organic table grapes known as organic alicante grapes that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50373401 Canned or jarred organic alicante grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within institutional food procurement; state and local governments soliciting under this code are typically purchasing shelf-stable canned and jarred fruits for food service operations at correctional facilities, veterans homes, schools, social services centers, and state health agencies. Recent opportunities show wide geographic and issuing-body diversity but limited volume — the code sees activity across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, issued by county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, school districts, and social services departments. The solicitations reveal that canned and jarred fruit procurement often appears as part of broader food commodity RFQs, RFPs, and ITBs spanning 35 to 380+ line items of shelf-stable proteins, produce, dairy, and condiments rather than as standalone single-item purchases; this code may therefore represent one line item within a larger multi-category food service award rather than a dedicated procurement path.

Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026 with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and the Oregon Department of Corrections' May and July 2026 ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (separate from this code's alicante grapes but illustrative of ODOC's institutional fruit procurement pattern), with historical awards at $21.84 per case. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple quarterly food-service procurements for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, indicating recurring demand. Issuing bodies consistently require delivery FOB destination, firm fixed pricing per unit, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, general liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence minimum), and three-year record retention. This code shows low standalone visibility; vendors pursuing canned fruit opportunities should monitor broader food-service RFPs and cooperative purchasing vehicles at state health, corrections, and education agencies in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest rather than expect direct single-item solicitations for this product alone.
