UNSPSC 50373505: Canned or jarred organic selma pete grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373505 Canned or jarred organic selma pete grapes, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual activity in recent state and local food procurement. The code nominally describes a single specialty grape product, but the recent opportunities posted under or near this code span broad shelf-stable food procurement — canned vegetables, proteins, fruits, applesauce, fresh produce, dairy, grains, and kitchen consumables — for schools, senior services, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and health agencies. The work being solicited is routine commodity food service fulfillment for institutional food programs, typically through Invitation for Bid (IFB) or Informal Written Quote (IWQ) notices, with awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state correctional and social-service agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice).

Recent activity spans multiple states with no single concentration. Georgia appears in at least two opportunities (Gwinnett County's October 2026 food purchase and Hancock County Schools' June 2026 fresh produce bid). Texas shows repeated procurement (HHSC El Paso facilities, TDCJ cafeteria food, and Austin ISD produce), as does Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders posted June and August 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two separate applesauce ITBs (May and July 2026). Connecticut and Georgia round out the active jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026 deadline) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables delivered to Lawrenceville, Georgia; Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 deadline) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026 deadline) for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Most solicitations emphasize domestic content (Buy American provisions), brand-or-equal specifications, firm fixed pricing, and FOB Destination delivery with inside delivery required to institutional kitchens and warehouses.
