UNSPSC 50373449: Canned or jarred organic kyoho grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373449 Canned or jarred organic kyoho grapes (Commodity) describes shelf-stable fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for food service in custodial or institutional settings. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers are purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities for schools, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and veterans homes. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), cities (City of Bridgeport), and independent school districts (Austin Independent School District). Food service procurement under this code typically involves multi-line-item solicitations with specifications for nutrition compliance, packaging, delivery frequency, and shelf-life requirements. Contracts often incorporate Buy American provisions, USDA commodity standards, and prevailing wage or state prompt-payment obligations. Award is commonly made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value criteria when performance history and delivery capability factor into evaluation.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and West, with Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), Illinois (multiple Illinois Veterans Home quarterly awards), Oregon (two Oregon Department of Corrections applesauce ITBs, May and July 2026), and Texas (HHSC El Paso facility, TDCJ cafeteria food products) showing consistent procurement volume. Connecticut and the broader food-service sector also participate. 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 proteins and vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales and ODOC's 5% Oregon-goods and 5% resident-bidder preferences (S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office requesting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases (multiple awards in June and August 2026); and the Texas Comptroller issuing an IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five TDCJ distribution points with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026.
