UNSPSC 50553424: Canned or jarred non GMO concord seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO concord seedless 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 50553424 Canned or jarred non-GMO Concord seedless grapes (Commodity) sees limited direct solicitation activity, with state and local governments instead procuring related shelf-stable fruit products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed canned vegetables—through food service contracts for corrections facilities, school districts, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The code's nominal scope diverges notably from the recent opportunities recorded: the opportunities capture broad food commodity procurement spanning proteins, dairy, condiments, and produce rather than specific non-GMO canned grape products. Counties, state departments, school districts, and state agencies issue the bulk of food-service RFQs, RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs under related commodity codes; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat buyers in the recent record.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Texas, with additional opportunities in Connecticut, Ohio, and other states. Representative recent procurements include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (informal written quotes due October 19, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal proposals due August 24, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026, 4,760 cases to Salem with a historical price of $21.84 per case), Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (proposals due July 16, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at state facilities (bids due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content appear in school district and board of education contracts. No opportunities explicitly identified canned non-GMO Concord grapes as a line item; this code shows little relevant recent activity distinct from general food commodity procurement.
