UNSPSC 50553429: Canned or jarred non GMO early sweet grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO early sweet 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 50553429 Canned or jarred non GMO early sweet grapes (Commodity) does not reflect material recent state and local procurement activity. The source documents eleven recent opportunities across state departments, county and municipal purchasing offices, and school districts, none of which solicits canned or jarred grapes specifically or framed them as a distinct line item. Recent activity under this code range centers instead on broad food and consumable procurement—including fresh produce, canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed shelf-stable food items—where grapes, if procured at all, appear as one line among dozens in larger commodity bundles. The nominal code name and the actual work being bought do not align; state and local agencies are treating food products through higher-tier family and class codes that span multiple commodity types rather than through single-commodity codes.

The geographic spread spans multiple states and jurisdiction types. Oregon Department of Corrections posted two applesauce ITBs (May and July 2026), with a historical award to Robbins Sales in June 2026 at $21.84 per case. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a supplemental food and consumables IFB (May 2026) with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice posted a cafeteria food products IFB in May 2026 covering 382 line items and multiple warehouse locations. Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in brand-specific and brand-or-equal formats (August and June 2026). Georgia, Connecticut, and Georgia school districts (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Board of Education, and City of Bridgeport) posted commodity and fresh-produce IFBs and IWQs in June and October 2026. Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps in June 2026. No recent solicitation names canned grapes as a primary procurement focus, and the code shows limited relevance to current state and local buying patterns in this category.
