UNSPSC 50553486: Canned or jarred non GMO sugraone grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO sugraone 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 50553486 Canned or jarred non-GMO sugaone grapes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under the code's tag. Recent opportunities posted under this code solicited shelf-stable food products for institutional food service—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities for senior centers, correctional facilities, schools, and state-supported living centers—rather than canned grapes. The nominal code description does not align with the procurement activity recorded against it.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state-supported facilities. Geographic spread spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut, with the most recent activity in June and August 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 purchase of approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (canned proteins, vegetables, sauces, soups) with a quote deadline of October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (August 2026 due date); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce at approximately 4,760 cases delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem (July 2026, with historical award of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales). The code shows active institutional food-service procurement activity but little evidence of demand specifically for canned or jarred grapes.
