UNSPSC 50553479: Canned or jarred non GMO royal black seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO royal black seedless 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 50553479 Canned or jarred non-GMO royal black seedless grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this item primarily as part of broader food-service solicitations for institutional meal programs, institutional food-supply contracts, and school nutrition services rather than as a standalone product line. Recent opportunities show the code embedded within larger food-supply RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs that bundle shelf-stable fruit products, canned vegetables, proteins, and consumables. The buying pattern reflects institutional kitchen operations at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, county senior services, and state veterans homes that source multiple food categories in consolidated procurements. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health departments, state veterans homes, county boards of education, county social services departments, municipal school districts, and state agencies managing institutional food service across multiple facility types.

Activity spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut, with the most recent and highest-dollar opportunities posted from Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 purchase of approximately 1,062 cases of food items (response due October 19, 2026) bundling peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, vegetables, and staples for senior services; Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026) with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse regions (response extended to May 4, 2026). The code shows no standalone sourcing activity; vendors should expect to compete within institutional food-service frameworks where canned grapes would represent one line item among dozens of other food categories at contract award.
