UNSPSC 50553491: Canned or jarred non GMO superior seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO superior 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 50553491 Canned or jarred non-GMO superior seedless grapes (Commodity) represents a narrow product category within state and local food procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct solicitation activity under this specific code. The recent state and local contracts tagged to this code actually reflect broad food-service procurement for shelf-stable and fresh produce items — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food commodities for schools, counties, state agencies, and correctional facilities. The code's nominal scope does not align closely with the recent opportunities listed, which span proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, and diverse canned and fresh fruits but do not specifically name canned or jarred seedless grapes as a line item in any of the posted solicitations.

State and local food procurement under related codes shows activity across county boards of education, state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and school districts in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut, typically through IFB, ITB, and RFP notices with firm-fixed pricing, delivery FOB destination, and compliance requirements including USDA grades, Buy American provisions, and liability insurance. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce procurement (IFB, June 26, 2026 due date), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' 1,062-case food-item purchase (IWQ, October 19, 2026 due date), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-applesauce solicitations (ITB S-29100-00017453, July 31, 2026; ITB S-29100-00016975, June 2, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity; vendors should verify whether canned seedless grapes appear in active state or local food-service RFPs or cooperative purchasing vehicles before investing pursuit resources.
