UNSPSC 50373607: Canned or jarred organic carnelian grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373607 Canned or jarred organic carnelian grapes is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, sees minimal direct procurement activity under its nominal specification; the code appears to function primarily as a catch-all or miscategorization point for broader shelf-stable food and produce buying rather than discrete procurement of this specific product. State and local government food purchasing under activity tagged to this code encompasses institutional nutrition supply — frozen and canned fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and bakery items ordered by county social services departments, state corrections and health facilities, school districts, and municipal nutrition centers. Issuing bodies span county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), county social-services boards (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas), municipal education boards (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple using agencies. Food service solicitations under this code run as IFBs, RFQs, and RFPs, typically with firm fixed pricing per unit, delivery FOB destination, and award to the lowest responsive bidder or best-value vendor; recent contracts span single-month to multi-year terms with renewal options, and many require compliance with Buy American provisions, prevailing wage standards, insurance minimums ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability), and food safety certifications including USDA grade compliance and HACCP plans.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest, with solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County and Hancock County), Oregon (two ODOC canned fruit procurements), Illinois (multiple Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food orders), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, and Austin ISD), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, sauces, vegetables) due October 19, 2026, delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's quarterly brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due August 24, 2026 and June 17, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical price $21.84 per case, due July 31, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers (210 line items, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years, responses due March 19, 2026). The Bridgeport Board of Education commodities RFP (due June 26, 2026) and the Austin ISD dried fruit bars and apple crisps RFP (due July 16, 2026) indicate school district nutrition procurement remains active under the code.
