UNSPSC 50553614: Canned or jarred non GMO dolcetto grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO dolcetto 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 50553614 Canned or jarred non-GMO dolcetto grapes is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service solicitations, though recent opportunities show the code capturing a narrow slice of shelf-stable produce and prepared-food purchasing activity. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code span county boards of education, state agencies, and school districts, but the actual goods being solicited—applesauce, fresh produce, general food commodities, cafeteria staples, and shelf-stable items for food service—diverge significantly from the code's nominal scope of canned or jarred non-GMO dolcetto grapes specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITB notices (S2910000016975 in May 2026 and S2910000017453 in July 2026) for canned applesauce at approximately 1,900–4,760 cases per procurement; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide for state hospitals and state supported living centers; and school districts including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) have posted RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, dried fruit products, and general food commodities. State issuing bodies include Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Texas, along with county boards of education and city nutrition departments.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD, Bridgeport-parallel food service), the Southeast (Gwinnett County and Hancock County, Georgia), and the Northeast (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, at 1,904–4,760 cases with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a 10 percent Oregon-goods preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables due March 19, 2026, covering 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school sites and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The code shows activity but limited recent procurement volume specifically tagged to canned or jarred non-GMO dolcetto grapes; most opportunities capture broader food-service categories in which this product may be a line item among dozens or hundreds of shelf-stable alternatives.
