UNSPSC 50553605: Canned or jarred non GMO cabernet sauvignon grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO cabernet sauvignon 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 50553605 Canned or jarred non-GMO cabernet sauvignon grapes is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its specific scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect purchases of cabernet sauvignon grapes or wine-related products; instead, they capture broad food and consumables procurement spanning fresh produce, canned fruits, proteins, dairy, and institutional food service supplies for schools, corrections facilities, health services, and county nutrition programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing signals that this Commodity has limited applicability in state and local procurement or is misapplied by issuing bodies in their tagging systems.

State and local buyers sourcing under related food categories include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), corrections and state health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport). Recent solicitations span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, and Florida, with activity concentrated among institutional food service procurement for detention facilities, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, June 2026, with Oregon-goods preference); Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (June 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, representing a three-year contract potential value of $4,500,000 (May 2026, responses due March 19, 2026). The code shows no active cabernet sauvignon grape procurement and should be deprioritized unless sourcing strategy shifts to align with broader food and consumables taxonomy or issuing bodies correct their code assignments.
