UNSPSC 50373627: Canned or jarred organic mataro grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373627 Canned or jarred organic mataro grapes is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a broad range of canned and shelf-stable produce items purchased by state and local governments for food service operations, not limited to the specific grape variety named in the code. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code tag to procure canned fruits, applesauce, dried fruit products, and mixed shelf-stable food items for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, senior services, and education nutrition programs. The work is typically transactional—vendors respond to invitations for bid or informal written quotes with firm fixed pricing on per-unit or per-case bases, deliver to specified warehouses or distribution centers, and maintain compliance with USDA commodity standards, FDA food safety requirements, and Buy American provisions where applicable. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, county community services departments, city school nutrition programs, and independent school districts. Delivery locations are centralized—warehouses, distribution centers, nutrition centers, and state facilities—rather than dispersed retail or field operations.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and West. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued at least two ITBs for canned applesauce (May 2026 and July 2026, each for approximately 1,900–4,760 cases at roughly $21.80–$21.85 per case), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026), and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (multiple quarters through August 2026). Additional activity includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers, March 2026; canned and shelf-stable items for El Paso facility, July 2026), the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (115 line items of produce and proteins for school nutrition, due June 26, 2026), and Austin Independent School District (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, July 2026). The code shows steady procurement velocity across public food service—no gaps in recent postings—but the activity reflects institutional scale purchasing (warehouse distribution, case-lot minimums, standardized USDA compliance) rather than retail or direct-to-consumer channels.
