UNSPSC 50553495: Canned or jarred non GMO white seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO white 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 50553495 Canned or jarred non GMO white seedless grapes is a Commodity code that sees virtually no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source contains fourteen recent opportunities posted between January and July 2026 across multiple state and local issuing bodies, yet none of them actually solicit canned or jarred non-GMO white seedless grapes. Instead, the opportunities span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, weekly food orders with brand-specific requirements, general food and consumable products for institutional facilities, fresh produce contracts, and comprehensive food service supply arrangements for school districts and state agencies. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual work being procured suggests either a broad tagging error in the source data or that this specific grape product represents an insignificant line item within larger multifaceted food-procurement solicitations.

State and local procurement under codes nominally aligned with this description involves school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Hancock County), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia Department of Human Services), and individual cities (Bridgeport). Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia across the recent posting window. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce due July 31, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. The code shows minimal relevance to current procurement demand and warrants verification against actual commodity classification before resource allocation.
