UNSPSC 50553411: Canned or jarred non GMO black emerald grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO black emerald grapes that have been canned or jarred for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50553411, Canned or jarred non-GMO black emerald grapes (Commodity), represents a narrow food-supply niche that state and local governments rarely procure in isolation; the recent opportunities data shows no direct bids for this specific product and instead reflects the broader pattern of school districts, corrections departments, health agencies, and county services procuring shelf-stable fruits and vegetables as line items within larger food-commodity solicitations. When canned fruit appears in state and local opportunities, it typically competes as one of many preserved-produce options—applesauce, canned vegetables, dried fruit bars—bundled into master food-supply contracts. The issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state corrections and health facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, HHSC state hospitals and supported living centers statewide), county social services (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and city nutrition centers (Bridgeport Nutrition Center).

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and Ohio, with the most recent solicitations posted between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 deadline) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at an estimated $21.84 per case, the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 (July 13, 2026 deadline) for food and consumable products with a prior-period value of $1.5 million, and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 19, 2026 deadline) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables. Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear in school district and nutrition center solicitations. The code shows little standalone procurement velocity; success depends on positioning canned non-GMO black emerald grapes as a line-item offering within broader food-service contracts rather than as a standalone product line.
