UNSPSC 50373474: Canned or jarred organic red seedless grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373474 Canned or jarred organic red seedless grapes, a Commodity code, covers canned and jarred fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show activity concentrated in broader fruit-preservation categories including applesauce, pears, and mixed canned fruits rather than the specific organic grape item. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, school districts (independent and county-level), state health and human services commissions, and boards of education across multiple states. Recent opportunities show Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois state procurement, and Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri school districts bidding canned and preserved fruit products under ITB, IFB, and RFP notice types. The work encompasses procurement of USDA-compliant canned fruit meeting strict specifications for packaging, shelf life, and nutritional standards, with delivery to central warehouses or school nutrition facilities. Bidders typically quote firm fixed unit prices inclusive of transportation on FOB destination terms, with contract periods running fiscal or school years and renewal options common.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD), Georgia (multiple school districts), Oregon (ODOC), and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, applying a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders and drawing historical pricing around $21.84 per case; Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers with historical contract value of $1.5 million covering multiple fruit and canned-goods categories under IFB HHS0017449 with proposals due July 13, 2026. School districts conducting parallel procurements—Austin Independent School District for dried fruit bars, Fairfax County Public Schools for master grocery supply, Hancock County Board of Education for fresh produce—indicate sustained demand across institutional nutrition programs. Insurance requirements typically include $1 million commercial general liability per occurrence, compliance with Buy American provisions, and HACCP or equivalent food safety certifications.
