UNSPSC 50373430: Canned or jarred organic emerald seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373430 Canned or jarred organic emerald seedless grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, though recent solicitations show the code is tagged to broader food-commodity purchases where canned and jarred fruit items are bundled with shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, and prepared foods. State and local governments buy under this code when issuing IFBs, RFQs, and RFPs for institutional food service — schools, corrections facilities, senior services, state hospitals, and supported living centers — where multiple food categories are consolidated into single line-item awards or multi-item contracts. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts, county senior services, and municipal food service operations. Vendors respond to firm, fixed pricing on per-unit or per-case bases with FOB destination delivery, often to central distribution centers or multiple school and facility sites, and awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting specifications.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (RFQ, October 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a brand-specific and brand-or-equal basis (proposals due August 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing, with a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference (ITB closing July 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids on 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and canned food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years (IFB, March 2026). School nutrition procurements dominate the recent sample — Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and Austin Independent School District (Texas) both solicited produce and processed fruit items under Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed goods. The code shows steady activity but appears to function more as a catch-all tag for multi-item food-service consolidations than as a vehicle for canned-organic-grape-specific demand.
