UNSPSC 50373462: Canned or jarred organic new cross grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373462 Canned or jarred organic new cross grapes (Commodity) names a single product line, but recent state and local solicitations show that this code captures activity across a much broader category of shelf-stable and fresh food procurement — canned fruits, fresh produce, dried fruit products, and general food service commodities for institutions including schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state hospitals. The issuing bodies are varied: county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), and municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School nutrition programs and state institutional food service (corrections, veterans homes, state supported living centers, psychiatric hospitals) dominate the recent opportunities. Procurement methods include IFB, RFP, RFQ, and ITB formats, with Buy American and domestic-content requirements appearing in several solicitations, particularly those serving schools under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.

Activity is concentrated in the South and Midwest, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut between May and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, soups, vegetables) with a response deadline of October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's quarterly weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (August 2026 deadline); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case (historical pricing, July 31, 2026 deadline); Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (July 16, 2026 deadline); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, and specialty items (June 26, 2026 deadline); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers with a $4.5 million estimated three-year value (March 19, 2026 deadline, now past). Cost and compliance burden remain moderate — most solicitations require standard commercial liability insurance, USDA compliance documentation, and references, but no exceptional set-asides or certifications are prevalent.
