UNSPSC 50553467: Canned or jarred non GMO perlon grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO perlon 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 50553467 Canned or jarred non-GMO perlon grapes is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely procure under its nominal specification. The recent solicitations tagged with this code show no grapes or grape products at all; instead, jurisdictions have been issuing opportunities for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, generic food and consumable products, fresh produce, and other food service staples with no connection to the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that the code itself no longer reflects actual procurement activity. No meaningful business development signal is present in these records.

The active volume instead clusters around adjacent food categories and broader commodity procurement. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (most recently S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) under what appears to be routine inventory replacement. School districts across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia are soliciting heavily for fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods to support child nutrition and institutional food service—work that falls properly under food service commodity codes rather than this one. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts, state corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies. The geographic spread is nationwide, with particularly active recent posting from Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, DISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (multiple school districts), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Oregon (ODOC), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Given the lack of any canned grape product in the opportunity record and the pervasive miscoding, this code should be flagged as unreliable for lead generation or opportunity tracking purposes.
