UNSPSC 50373416: Canned or jarred organic black seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373416 Canned or jarred organic black seedless grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow product category within state and local food procurement, though recent opportunities show that jurisdictions procuring under this code typically seek shelf-stable canned fruit products more broadly — applesauce, mixed canned vegetables, and other preserved produce — rather than organic seedless grapes specifically. State and local buyers use this code to source bulk food supplies for institutional nutrition programs, particularly corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and senior services operations. The work involves responding to firm fixed-price invitations for bid or informal quotes on canned or preserved fruit items, meeting USDA commodity specifications and food safety standards, arranging FOB destination delivery within specified timeframes, and maintaining applicable insurance and compliance certifications.

Recent opportunities span corrections departments in Oregon and Texas, state health and human services commissions in Texas, county boards of education in Georgia, and senior services in Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 2026 and July 2026, each approximately 1,900–4,760 cases), with historical pricing around $21.84 per case and a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide (due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice sought cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution areas (extended deadline May 4, 2026). Gwinnett County in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026). Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy posted quarterly food orders on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases (June and August 2026 deadlines). The geographic concentration includes Oregon, Texas, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois and Connecticut. Most opportunities are ITB or IFB format with response windows of two to four weeks; awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-unit basis, often with evaluation of vendor past performance and delivery capability.
