UNSPSC 50553615: Canned or jarred non GMO emerald riesling grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO emerald riesling 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 50553615 Canned or jarred non-GMO emerald riesling grapes (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no purchasing of the specific product—canned or jarred non-GMO emerald riesling grapes—that the code names.

The recent solicitations record instead show state and local governments buying broad categories of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service: Gwinnett County (Georgia) requested informal quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and canned vegetables; the State of Illinois solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple invitations to bid for canned applesauce; Austin Independent School District (Texas) sought dried fruit bars and apple crisps; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables statewide for state hospitals and state supported living centers; and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) requested bids for 115 line items of commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center. None of these solicitations identify non-GMO emerald riesling grapes—fresh, canned, or jarred—as a line item or component of scope. The code as tagged to this dataset appears to reflect a cataloging mismatch rather than active state and local procurement demand for the specific product.
