UNSPSC 50553483: Canned or jarred non GMO scuppernong grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO scuppernong 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 50553483 Canned or jarred non GMO scuppernong grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement record shows little direct activity in this product line; most opportunities posted under related food-supply codes are for broader fresh or processed food procurement that includes applesauce, fresh produce, cafeteria staples, and institutional food service items rather than scuppernong grapes specifically. State and local buyers—county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county boards of commissioners, and school districts—are actively procuring shelf-stable and fresh foods through RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs, but the recent solicitation dataset contains no posted scuppernong grape opportunity. The issuers span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with activity concentrated in school nutrition programs, institutional food service (prisons, veterans' homes, state-supported living centers), and senior services.

When food-commodity procurement does appear in the recent record, it reflects institutional scale—Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable items (October 2026, IWQ 140229); the State of Illinois posted quarterly food-supply contracts for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (August and June 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned applesauce in bulk truck loads (July and May 2026, ITB S-29100-00017453); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and living centers statewide with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years (May 2026, IFB HHS0016792v2). No recent opportunity mentions scuppernong grapes by name, and the lack of posted activity suggests this Commodity code either sees episodic demand, is subsumed into broader fresh-fruit line items, or has limited penetration in state and local institutional food service. Firms targeting this code should monitor Georgia and other southeastern procurement offices for sporadic institutional or senior-services food buys.
