UNSPSC 50553449: Canned or jarred non GMO kyoho grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO kyoho 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 50553449 Canned or jarred non-GMO Kyoho grapes (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity—the code does not align with the actual food service purchases tracked in current opportunities. Recent solicitations are instead driven by demand for canned and fresh produce staples, applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh grocery items for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, school districts ranging from small rural systems to large urban districts, and health and human services agencies. No recent opportunities in the tracked system target the specific commodity named in this UNSPSC code.

State and local food service procurement spans multiple regions, with the heaviest documented activity in Texas (health and human services, school districts, correctional agencies), Georgia (school nutrition programs), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Connecticut (municipal school boards), and Missouri (independent school districts). Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017453 for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026, 4,760 cases, $21.84 per case historical pricing), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value, maximum three-year term), Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for fresh produce (72 items, 60 school sites, renewable annually). Procurement vehicles include ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance requirements where applicable, and contract terms typically running one school or fiscal year with renewal options. Buyers prioritize specification compliance, delivery performance, insurance coverage, and price; Oregon applies 10 percent combined state-good and resident-bidder preferences, and Texas emphasizes past vendor performance tracking and best-value evaluation.
