UNSPSC 50553418: Canned or jarred non GMO calmeria grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO calmeria 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 50553418 Canned or jarred non-GMO Calmeria grapes (Commodity) does not appear in any recent state and local procurement opportunities. The source records ten food-service solicitations issued between May and October 2026 by state departments, county boards, school districts, and municipal procurement offices, but none of them specifically name or solicit canned or jarred Calmeria grapes. The posted opportunities cover broad food-service categories—fresh produce, canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, general food commodities, and cafeteria or nutrition-center supplies—issued by the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas health and human services agencies, school districts in Georgia and Connecticut, and city and county purchasing divisions. No recent opportunity has identified this Commodity code as the governing classification or named Calmeria grapes as a line item.

Activity under this code appears dormant in publicly posted state and local procurement notices as of October 2026. Bidders and suppliers tracking this code should verify directly with issuing bodies—nutrition services at school districts, corrections departments, senior services agencies, and state institutional food buyers—whether Calmeria grapes are procured through blanket orders, standing contracts, or purchasing cooperatives that may not surface in individual RFP or IFB notices. The absence of recent competitive solicitations does not rule out procurement activity; it signals that available public-notice sources do not currently reflect demand for this specific product at the state and local level.
