UNSPSC 50553604: Canned or jarred non GMO cabernet franc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO cabernet franc 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 50553604 Canned or jarred non-GMO cabernet franc grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific product; recent procurement activity reflects general shelf-stable food procurement across multiple product categories for institutional food service. The code's narrow specification—canned or jarred grapes specifically—diverges significantly from actual purchasing patterns. Recent opportunities under or near this code target broad food-supply categories including canned proteins, canned vegetables, dried fruits, fresh produce, frozen entrees, and general cafeteria commodities, rather than preserved grapes as a line item. Issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, municipalities, and independent school districts. Counties and state agencies dominate the recent activity, with a particular concentration among corrections and human services purchasing for institutional food service to detention facilities, supported living centers, and school nutrition programs.

Recent solicitations show activity across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (ITBs S2910000016975, posted May 18, 2026, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026), establishing a baseline historical price of approximately $21.83 per case for canned fruit products. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items including canned goods (IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026; contract value ceiling $4.5 million over three years). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has posted multiple weekly food-order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases (June through September 2027, with responses due June 17 and August 24, 2026). School districts including Austin Independent School District and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia have posted RFPs and IFBs for fresh and processed produce. Buy American and domestic-content provisions appear in several school district and state solicitations. The code shows no dedicated market for canned non-GMO cabernet franc grapes specifically; vendors should monitor broader institutional food-service categories and regional corrections and education procurement channels.
