UNSPSC 50373483: Canned or jarred organic scuppernong grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373483 Canned or jarred organic scuppernong grapes is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable preserved fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little demand for the specific item named in the taxonomy. Instead, state and local issuing bodies soliciting under related food-service categories are purchasing broad ranges of canned and preserved fruits — applesauce, fruit cups, and mixed canned vegetables — as components of larger food-supply contracts for correctional facilities, schools, senior services, and state health institutions. The actual buying reflects generic institutional food procurement rather than demand for a specialty item like organic scuppernong grapes; the issuing-body mix includes state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Bridgeport, Connecticut), county senior services (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Veterans Home system), and independent school districts (Austin ISD). Solicitations are typically issued as IFBs or RFQs with fixed unit pricing and firm delivery schedules to central warehouses or distribution centers.

Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut, with the most recent opportunities concentrated in the South and Midwest. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and proposals due July 13, 2026, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables with quotes due October 19, 2026. The code itself shows minimal specific procurement activity for organic scuppernong grapes; business development professionals should focus on competing for broader food-service contracts where canned and preserved fruits are line items within multi-category solicitations rather than sole-source opportunities.
