UNSPSC 50373503: Canned or jarred organic dovine grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373503 Canned or jarred organic dovine grapes is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely solicit directly; recent opportunities show the code capturing tangential food-service buys where organic canned fruit items appear as one line among dozens in broader produce or consumables contracts, rather than as a standalone procurement focus. State and local food-service buyers—school districts, state departments, county social services, corrections agencies, and public health facilities—purchase canned or shelf-stable fruit products as part of regular institutional meal supply, typically bundled with proteins, vegetables, grains, and condiments under consolidated RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs. The work involves supplying kitchen-ready, branded or equivalent canned fruit to central warehouse or distribution points, with firm pricing, delivery schedules often tied to school-year or fiscal-year calendars, Buy American compliance where applicable, and standard food-service compliance including USDA standards, shelf-life verification, and proper labeling. Issuing bodies range from individual school districts and county boards of education to state purchasing offices and agencies managing corrections, health services, and senior services; state-level procurement offices (Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections) appear as repeat buyers running quarterly or annual contracts for multiple locations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, reflecting the geographic distribution of large institutional food-service demand. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 2026) requesting informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products for senior services delivery by December 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's recurring quarterly food-order contracts for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants, June and August 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, July 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case); the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 commodities solicitation (115 line items spanning fruits and vegetables under Buy American requirements); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 supplemental food and consumables IFB (210 line items, maximum $4.5 million over three years). No recent solicitation targets canned organic grape products specifically; the code appears tagged to general food-service contracts where organic status, if required, is subsumed within broader brand-or-equivalent or specification-driven buys.
