UNSPSC 50553471: Canned or jarred non GMO red blush grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO red blush 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 50553471 Canned or jarred non GMO red blush grapes, a Commodity code, shows virtually no relevant recent activity. The source records canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food and consumable procurement across state corrections, school nutrition, health and human services facilities, and institutional food service — none of which match the code's stated scope of canned or jarred non-GMO red blush grapes. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code have named instead canned fruit applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026), dried fruit bars and apple crisps for school food service (Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004, due July 16, 2026), and fresh produce ranging from apples and berries to root vegetables for school nutrition programs across multiple jurisdictions. The code's nominal product category does not align with the actual goods being solicited under it in recent state and local procurements.

Geographic posting activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, driven primarily by school nutrition programs and state institutional food service at corrections, health and human services, and supported living facilities. Repeat buyers include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hancock County Schools, Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools), state health and corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, State of Illinois, Texas TDCJ), and counties and municipalities supplying food service operations. With no recent solicitations matching the non-GMO red blush grapes specification, the code appears misapplied to the broader food and nutrition procurement category being actively pursued across the country.
