UNSPSC 50553619: Canned or jarred non GMO gewurztraminer grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO gewurztraminer 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 50553619, Canned or jarred non-GMO Gewurztraminer grapes (Commodity), does not appear in recent state and local procurement opportunities. The code itself targets a highly specific product—canned or jarred grapes from a single varietal and non-GMO source—yet the recent solicitations captured under this code tag reflect broad food service procurement across multiple product categories, none of which name Gewurztraminer grapes or match the narrowly defined commodity scope.

The mismatch between code and actual activity suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that Gewurztraminer grapes are not a current state and local procurement priority. The recent opportunities—ranging from general food supplies for county senior services (Gwinnett County, Georgia, IWQ IFB), canned applesauce for corrections departments (Oregon, ITB), fresh produce for school nutrition (Austin ISD, Hancock County Schools, IFB), and supplemental food and consumables for state health and human services facilities (Texas HHSC, IFB)—demonstrate active purchasing of shelf-stable and fresh food products across counties, school districts, state departments, and institutional food service operations, but none specifically solicit or reference Gewurztraminer grapes. Business development professionals should verify whether opportunities related to this commodity exist under an alternate code classification or confirm current demand signals before allocating pursuit resources.
