UNSPSC 50553463: Canned or jarred non GMO niabell grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO niabell 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 50553463 Canned or jarred non-GMO niabell grapes, a Commodity code, nominally names a highly specific produce item, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent solicitation volume specifically matching that description. The recent opportunities block contains no bids, RFQs, RFPs, or ITBs explicitly requesting canned or jarred niabell grapes. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code span broader food and consumables procurement — shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, applesauce, and complete food-service commodity bundles for correctional facilities, senior services, schools, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies are diverse: county boards of education and commissioners, state departments of corrections and health and human services, independent school districts, city procurement offices, and state purchasing divisions. This reflects the typical fragmentation of food procurement across state and local jurisdictions with distinct food-service operations.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Gwinnett County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a response deadline of October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229); Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 with historical pricing at $21.84 per case; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers with a March 19, 2026 deadline and a maximum potential three-year contract value of $4.5 million; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year due June 26, 2026. The code shows active procurement volume but little recent evidence of niabell grapes specifically being solicited.
