UNSPSC 50373448: Canned or jarred organic king ruby grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373448 Canned or jarred organic king ruby grapes is a Commodity code that sits at the bottom of the taxonomy and captures state and local purchasing of shelf-stable fruit products for institutional food service and meal programs. The recent opportunities block shows little direct activity for the specific item named in the code — organic king ruby grapes — and instead reflects a much broader pattern of state and local procurement under related fruit and food-commodity codes. Institutions soliciting under this family of codes are buying canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce assortments, and mixed commodity lots for schools, corrections facilities, social services, state hospitals, and veterans' homes. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of TDCJ, State of Georgia), counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), cities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and independent school districts (Austin Independent School District). Award is typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a firm fixed-price basis, with delivery FOB destination and pricing evaluated per unit of measure or per case.

Geographic activity centers on the South (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with additional solicitation from Illinois. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned fruit applesauce with historical awards around $21.83 per case and delivery to Salem. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, with responses due March 19, 2026, for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces, with quotes due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville. Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps on June 26, 2026. The code shows consistent institutional purchasing volume but limited specific demand for the organic ruby grape variant; vendors should monitor broader commodity lots and evaluate entry through regional school and corrections food-service contracts where brand-or-equal specifications and sourcing flexibility are common.
