UNSPSC 50553477: Canned or jarred non GMO rosita grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO rosita 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 50553477 Canned or jarred non-GMO rosita grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable fruit products in canned or jarred form for institutional food service operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code are procuring ready-to-serve fruit items for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent opportunities show demand for canned and jarred fruit products as part of broader food-commodity acquisitions, often grouped with other shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, and staples. The issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, and independent school districts. Several jurisdictions—particularly Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Texas—appear as repeat buyers of institutional food supplies, though most solicitations bundle canned fruit within larger food-commodity procurements rather than as a standalone line item.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Texas, with additional recent solicitation activity in Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, historical price $21.84 per case) due July 31, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items statewide, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) due March 19, 2026; and Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products (382 line items across five geographic areas) due May 4, 2026. Most institutional food procurements require compliance with USDA standards, Buy American provisions under the National School Lunch Act, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and commercial liability insurance. School districts and corrections departments are the most active buyers, with quarterly or annual contract cycles and volume typically measured in case quantities.
