UNSPSC 50553613: Canned or jarred non GMO cinsaut grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO cinsaut 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 50553613 Canned or jarred non-GMO Cinsaut grapes is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable fruit products, canned vegetables, and related food-service commodities for institutional use—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, state-supported living centers, and health and human services operations. Recent solicitations show that while the code nominally describes a narrow product (non-GMO Cinsaut grapes), state and local buying offices use it to tag broad food-supply RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs that encompass dozens of line items spanning canned fruits, applesauce, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Austin Independent School District), county purchasing divisions (Gwinnett County), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), city school boards (Bridgeport Board of Education), and state-correctional and health-services agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home). Buy American and domestic-sourcing provisions appear frequently; Oregon applies 5 percent preferences for in-state processing and resident bidders, while Connecticut and other jurisdictions enforce the Russell Act's 51-percent domestic-content minimum for processed products.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and West, with recent opportunities from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a 72-hour delivery requirement and October 19 deadline; the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case (historical), delivered in five truckloads to Salem with 10 percent combined preference weight; Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB covering food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated $1.5 million prior-period value and potential three-year contract value. School districts, corrections systems, and state health agencies dominate the buyer mix; contract terms typically run one to three years with optional renewals, and pricing is quoted per unit or case with firm fixed rates through the initial period, often subject to cost-adjustment formulas tied to the Consumer Price Index.
