UNSPSC 50553440: Canned or jarred non GMO flaming red grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO flaming red 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 50553440 Canned or jarred non-GMO flaming red grapes (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no posted opportunities or active solicitations matching this specific commodity. State and local agencies soliciting under related food procurement codes are currently buying shelf-stable food products more broadly — canned vegetables, applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and comprehensive food-service line items for corrections departments, schools, veterans homes, senior centers, and state-supported living centers — but none of the opportunities name canned or jarred grapes, non-GMO or otherwise, as a line item or scope element.

The recent food-procurement activity in the source spans Georgia (Gwinnett County), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (Austin Independent School District, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, TDCJ), Georgia (Hancock County Schools), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), with issuing bodies including county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, school districts, and county purchasing offices. The absence of any solicitation naming canned or jarred grapes suggests either minimal purchasing demand for this commodity under this code or a tagging mismatch in the state and local procurement system. Firms pursuing fruit or produce-related state and local opportunities should monitor codes capturing broader canned-fruit or preserved-fruit categories rather than this specific commodity designation.
