UNSPSC 50373415: Canned or jarred organic black pearl grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373415 Canned or jarred organic black pearl grapes is a Commodity code that frames state and local food procurement narrowly — the code's name specifies a single product line, yet recent state and local solicitations tagged with it cover broad food-service categories including fresh produce, dried fruit, canned proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, condiments, and consumable supplies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests that either the code is misapplied in state and local procurement systems, or the code sits within a broader family structure that encompasses diverse food commodities. Recent activity shows counties, school districts, state departments, and correctional agencies issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for food-service procurement — Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (shelf-stable food items for senior services), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (food and consumable products for state supported living centers), the Oregon Department of Corrections (canned applesauce), and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office (weekly food orders for veterans homes). These are not organic-grape-specific solicitations; they are broad institutional food supply contracts that may include canned or jarred grapes among many other line items.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and Connecticut, with activity also documented in the statewide procurement systems of those states. Two representative solicitations illustrate the actual scope of work under this code: Gwinnett County's June 2026 IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (canned proteins, vegetables, pasta, sauces, rice, peanut butter, jelly) with delivery to senior services and an October 19, 2026 response deadline, and the Oregon Department of Corrections' May 2026 ITB for canned applesauce (1,904 cases delivered FOB Destination to Salem, Oregon) with a June 2, 2026 closing date and a historical award price of $21.827 per case to MJ Kellner. The State of Illinois and Texas HHSC have issued multiple solicitations for weekly and quarterly food orders under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, indicating recurring institutional demand. The code shows no evidence of recent opportunities that are actually specific to organic black pearl grapes; the organic-commodity framing does not match the state and local procurement activity being tagged with it.
