UNSPSC 50553437: Canned or jarred non GMO flame grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO flame 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 50553437 Canned or jarred non-GMO flame grapes, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for canned or jarred flame grapes; instead, state and local agencies are buying canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, fresh eggs, and broad-category food service supplies—none of which match the specific commodity named in the code. The one canned-fruit opportunity that appears in the dataset is the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017453 for canned fruit applesauce (due July 31, 2026), which sits in a related but distinct product category and carries no reference to flame grapes or the non-GMO specification. This mismatch suggests either that state and local procurement offices rarely tag flame-grape purchases under this code, or that demand for canned flame grapes specifically is not currently driving solicitations in the state and local market.

The broader canned and jarred fruit category does see activity across school districts, state agencies, and corrections departments, but opportunities cluster around applesauce, mixed fruits, and fresh or dried fruit products rather than flame grapes. School nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County) and state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office) are actively procuring food products for institutional feeding, but none of the recent RFPs, ITBs, or RFQs name flame grapes as a line item. Without recent evidence of demand for this specific commodity, the code appears inactive for business development targeting right now.
