UNSPSC 50373473: Canned or jarred organic red malaga grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373473 Canned or jarred organic red malaga grapes is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses shelf-stable fruit products, canned vegetables, and complementary food-service staples procured by state and local food service operations—a scope considerably broader than the code's nominal name suggests. State and local solicitations under this code target departments of corrections, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county senior services, and municipal school boards. The work being bought ranges from individual fruit and vegetable line items in larger food-supply RFPs to standalone canned applesauce or dried fruit procurements issued as ITBs or IFBs. Issuing bodies mix state procurement offices (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport), and single-facility nutrition centers. Repeat procurement emerges around quarterly and annual food-service contracts at state facilities; Texas HHSC and Oregon DOC appear multiple times in the recent block with both canned applesauce and supplemental food solicitations.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest, with substantial postings from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with Illinois state facilities also active. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229); Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon goods and bidders; Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumable products spanning 210 line items statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and a response deadline of March 19, 2026; and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. Most solicitations require FOB destination prepaid delivery, firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA commodity and food safety standards, commercial liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million per occurrence depending on jurisdiction), and vendor performance verification through references or procurement-office tracking systems.
