UNSPSC 50373472: Canned or jarred organic red globe grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373472 Canned or jarred organic red globe grapes, a Commodity code, shows substantial recent activity among state and local buyers procuring canned and jarred fruit products — though the recent opportunities on file reveal an issuing-body mix and scope that diverge significantly from the code's stated commodity name. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have all posted solicitations tagged to this code in the past six months, but their actual buys span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broader food and consumable products for institutional food service — not specifically organic red globe grapes. The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (ISD systems, county school boards) and state institutional food-service operations (corrections, health and human services facilities), with a small number of municipal and state procurement offices. School districts dominate the recent pipeline, often using cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative in Georgia) and standardized procurement portals such as Bonfire and OpenGov. Evaluation typically emphasizes lowest responsive bid, compliance with USDA and Buy American standards, product quality, and vendor performance history; many solicitations require firm pricing for the contract term, general liability insurance ($1–2 million per occurrence), and compliance with federal certifications including debarment and E-Verify.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, bids due July 31, 2026, historical price $21.84 per case), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution to 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students (estimated annual value $9 million, proposals due February 18, 2026, board approval April 20, 2026), and the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (prior contract value $1.5 million annually, proposals due July 13, 2026). The code shows active procurement but limited relevance to organic red globe grapes specifically — the tagging appears to reflect a broad food commodity classification rather than a narrow single-product buy, making this code a useful watch for institutional food-service suppliers more broadly than for grape-specific vendors.
