UNSPSC 50553473: Canned or jarred non GMO red malaga grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO red malaga 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 50553473 Canned or jarred non-GMO red Malaga grapes is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity specifically tied to this product. The source records show no solicitations directly seeking canned or jarred red Malaga grapes; instead, recent opportunities under this code span broader fruit procurement categories including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and general food service commodities for schools, correctional facilities, and state health agencies. State and local buyers posting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Austin ISD in Texas, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia, Dallas ISD in Texas), state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school boards (Hancock County in Georgia, Muscogee County in Georgia, Liberty County in Georgia), and municipal school systems (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). The issuing bodies show a strong concentration in K–12 school nutrition programs, which use formal procurement methods (ITB, IFB, RFP) to acquire food products at scale.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois, with school districts as the dominant buyer category. Representative recent opportunities illustrate the actual scope: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at approximately $21.84 per case; Austin ISD issued RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties and berries; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products at an estimated $1.5 million historical value. The code shows no significant recent activity specifically targeting canned or jarred red Malaga grapes as a standalone line item; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitations signals that this particular product variant sees limited state and local demand, or that buyers are classifying comparable preserved fruit products under different UNSPSC codes or commodity categories.
