UNSPSC 50373410: Canned or jarred organic black beauty seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373410, Canned or jarred organic black beauty seedless grapes, is a Commodity code that in practice covers a narrow slice of state and local food procurement—specifically canned and jarred fruit products purchased for institutional food service. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers use this code (or related produce and commodity codes) to procure shelf-stable canned and jarred produce including applesauce, mixed fruits, and other processed fruit items for schools, corrections facilities, veteran homes, social services departments, and other institutional consumers. The mix of issuing bodies spans state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, school districts, county social services departments, and city nutrition centers. Food service contracts at this tier typically involve competitive sealed bids or informal quotes, firm fixed pricing quoted per unit or case, FOB destination delivery terms, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards, and insurance and vendor-reference requirements. Many jurisdictions apply Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content percentages in processed products, and some state procurement offices impose in-state or local-preference scoring.

Recent activity shows concentration in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned products) for senior services, due October 19, 2026, under an IFB method; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (USDA 2011 commodity specifications, packed in juice or light syrup) with FOB destination delivery to Salem, due July 31, 2026, at a historical price of $21.84 per case; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids on supplemental food and consumables (210 line items including fresh, frozen, and canned products) to serve state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with firm fixed pricing and a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations for the 2026–27 school year, due June 26, 2026. Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy posted multiple weekly food-order solicitations (brand-specific and brand-or-equal) throughout FY-27. Austin Independent School District and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education also posted produce and commodity food bids during the same period.
