UNSPSC 50553478: Canned or jarred non GMO rouge grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO rouge 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 50553478 Canned or jarred non-GMO rouge grapes (Commodity) describes shelf-stable canned or jarred grape products purchased by state and local governments for food service operations, though recent state and local opportunities show that the code sees limited direct application — the buying activity under this code focuses on a narrow commodity that states and localities source episodically rather than as a high-volume staple. State and local governments issuing under this Commodity code include county boards of education, county senior services programs, state departments of corrections, state veterans homes, and school districts. Recent opportunities reflect a broader pattern of institutional food procurement in which individual grape products are one line item among dozens or hundreds spanning proteins, fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, and shelf-stable staples. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, and while canned grapes are not explicitly enumerated in the summary, the scope encompasses multiple canned vegetables, proteins, and sauces fitting the product family. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued recurring brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy across multiple quarters in 2026, though specific line-item detail is not disclosed. The Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued larger institutional food procurements with hundreds of line items, and individual fruit products (including canned applesauce) appear as discrete line items in those solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, reflecting the footprint of large state corrections, veterans, and public health facilities. The Gwinnett County IWQ (PE77023NONST2027000000782) posted October 13, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy issued multiple weekly food-order RFPs (27497DVAQUINCB53752 and 27497DVAQUINCB52820 among others) with August and June 2026 response dates. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453 in July 2026 and S2910000016975 in May 2026), with historical pricing at approximately $21.84 per case and delivery to Salem, Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2) covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Code activity remains scattered across institutional food procurement rather than concentrated in a single state, issuing body, or vendor tier. The code sees sporadic solicitation relative to the volume of competing fresh-produce and broader commodity food contracts in the same jurisdictions.
