UNSPSC 50553432: Canned or jarred non GMO emperor grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO emperor 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 50553432 Canned or jarred non-GMO emperor grapes (Commodity) does not align with current state and local procurement activity. Recent solicitations tagged or nominally related to this code describe fresh and frozen produce, canned applesauce and fruit, dried fruit bars, eggs, grains, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers — none of which are canned or jarred emperor grapes, GMO or otherwise. The code's narrow commodity specificity does not match the broad food-service categories state and local buyers are actually sourcing.

Activity under the nominal code is negligible. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple Georgia and Missouri school districts, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted recent food procurement solicitations across IFB, RFP, and ITB notice types throughout 2026, but none target canned emperor grapes as a line item or procurement focus. The mismatch between the code definition and observed buying patterns suggests either misclassification of this code in state and local procurement systems or dormant demand for this specific product. Firms evaluating this code should confirm whether state and local agencies are using it as intended before committing business development resources.
