UNSPSC 50553485: Canned or jarred non GMO sugarthirteen grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO sugarthirteen 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 50553485 Canned or jarred non-GMO sugar thirteen grapes, a Commodity code, sees modest recent activity focused primarily on school nutrition and correctional-facility food service procurement, with state and local buyers sourcing canned and processed fruit products that diverge significantly from the code's nominal scope. State and local solicitations under this code encompass canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and general food-service commodities rather than specialty grape products, indicating the code captures a broad range of canned and jarred fruit procurement that agencies use to describe diverse fruit inventory. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools), county school boards (Hancock County, Douglas County, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), and special districts, with school nutrition programs constituting the dominant buyer segment across multiple states. The mix reflects demand from food-service operations serving inmate and student populations at scale.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Oregon showing the most recent solicitations. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 on July 10, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, featuring a 10 percent combined state preference (5 percent for Oregon-fabricated goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders) and a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales in June 2026. Austin Independent School District posted RFP 27RFP004 on June 26, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026, with delivery to the district's central warehouse. Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division has posted multiple food and consumable solicitations (most recently HHS0017449 in June 2026, due July 13, 2026) covering food-service products for state supported living centers with estimated historical values around $1.5 million annually and potential contract values exceeding $4.5 million over three years with renewal options. School districts in Georgia and Missouri (Hancock County, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County) have posted multiple fresh produce and grocery solicitations in the first half of 2026, most using IFB or RFP methods with firm fixed pricing and school-year performance periods (typically July 1 through June 30). No mismatch exists between code name and recent solicitation scope — the code accurately captures the canned and jarred fruit products state and local governments buy for institutional food service.
