UNSPSC 50553482: Canned or jarred non GMO scarlet royal grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO scarlet royal 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 50553482 Canned or jarred non-GMO scarlet royal grapes (Commodity) is narrowly represented in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specific produce category, but actual purchasing under it is sparse and shows only tangential relevance to the nominal scope. State and local solicitations tagged with this code are instead procuring broad food-service commodities—shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fresh produce, dried fruit, and other staple items for institutional feeding programs. The issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and county nutritional support services. Opportunities have been posted by Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District (Texas), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Geographically, recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ requesting approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, canned vegetables) for the Department of Community Services with a response deadline of October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case historically, with a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-vendor preference; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumable products to state hospitals and supported living centers, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years and proposals due July 13, 2026. The code shows little meaningful recent activity narrowly aligned to canned or jarred grapes specifically; procurement professionals targeting this UNSPSC category should verify issuing-body coding before pursuing opportunities, as the tag may reflect administrative classification rather than actual commodity demand.
