UNSPSC 50373484: Canned or jarred organic sugarose grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373484 Canned or jarred organic sugarose grapes is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable preserved fruit products, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the abstract category name. The recent opportunities do not solicit canned or jarred grapes of any variety; instead, they procure a broad mix of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service—canned applesauce, canned vegetables, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, cafeteria proteins, dairy, and consumables for correctional facilities, schools, state supported living centers, senior services, and veterans' homes. State and local issuing bodies include corrections departments, school districts, county boards of education, county senior services, state departments of health and human services, and city nutrition departments. The scope encompasses competitive food service procurement where jurisdictions solicit regularly through IFB, RFP, and RFQ notice types, often with brand-or-equal flexibility, fixed firm pricing, and multi-item line-item awards.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (May and July 2026) with response dates June 2 and July 31, 2026, respectively, applying Oregon-residency and local-goods preferences totaling up to 10 percent. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts solicited cafeteria food products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (May 2026, extended to May 4) covering 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in brand-specific and brand-or-equal formats (June and August 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (October 2026, due October 19), and Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce for school nutrition (June 2026, due June 26). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two statewide food and consumable bids (May and June 2026) with estimated values of $1.5 million and up to $4.5 million respectively over multi-year terms. Activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with school nutrition and institutional food service as the dominant buying purpose. The code shows little genuine activity under its stated name and appears mistagged in state procurement systems.
