UNSPSC 50373637: Canned or jarred organic palomino grapes

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

UNSPSC 50373637 Canned or jarred organic palomino grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within food procurement, but recent state and local opportunities show that the code encompasses broader shelf-stable and fresh fruit categories—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food service commodities—rather than organic palomino grapes specifically. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily nutrition programs: school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Georgia state food services), county governments (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), and correctional agencies. The mix skews heavily toward institutional food service providers serving schools, state hospitals, veterans' homes, supported living centers, and prison systems, with recurring buyers including Texas HHSC, the State of Illinois (repeated quarterly solicitations for veterans' home food supply), and the Oregon Department of Corrections.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and other states. Representative recent activity includes Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 19, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products for senior services; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posting multiple quarterly RFPs in August and June 2026 for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications; Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs in July and May 2026 for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases and 1,904 cases respectively) with a five percent Oregon-goods preference and historical pricing around $21.80 per case; Austin Independent School District posting an RFP on July 16, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Buy American provisions, prevailing wage compliance, and insurance requirements are standard. Contract vehicles are primarily IFBs, RFPs, RFQs, and informal quotes with firm fixed pricing and delivery to central distribution points or institutional kitchens on FOB destination terms.
