UNSPSC 50553464: Canned or jarred non GMO niagara grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO niagara 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 50553464 Canned or jarred non-GMO Niagara grapes (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under this code. The recent opportunities include canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food service supply contracts — none of which match the code's stated scope of canned or jarred non-GMO Niagara grapes. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that procurement offices are applying this code to food products well outside its nominal taxonomy.

The issuing bodies span state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), school nutrition programs (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Dallas ISD, Douglas County, Fairfax County), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal school boards (Bridgeport Board of Education). Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Connecticut, and Virginia, with school districts accounting for the majority of recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Austin ISD RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and Dallas ISD RFP for various food products including spice and ice cream lots (due April 2, 2026). Food service contracts emphasize firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance where applicable, delivery to warehouse or school locations, and liability insurance minimums typically ranging from $1 million to $2 million. Because this code's nominal scope does not materialize in the recent opportunity set, business development professionals should verify UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities posted under 50553464.
