UNSPSC 50553621: Canned or jarred non GMO grenache blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO grenache blanc 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 50553621 Canned or jarred non-GMO Grenache Blanc grapes is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a far broader range of shelf-stable and refrigerated food products than the nominal category name suggests—state and local governments are soliciting canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, poultry, dairy, proteins, condiments, and multi-category commodity bundles under this code. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia, and Texas Department of Corrections), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), county boards of commissioners and services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and state-supported facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). The work solicited ranges from single-item contracts for canned applesauce or dried fruit bars to comprehensive multi-line-item food commodity bundles serving correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, senior services, and nutrition centers. Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear consistently in school and state-facility procurements.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Illinois). Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center and response due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and historical pricing at $21.84 per case; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables across 210 line items serving state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential three-year value of $4,500,000. The code shows consistent activity across state fiscal-year cycles, with multiple Illinois Veterans Home procurements posted between June and August 2026 and school-district produce buys concentrated in spring months ahead of academic-year delivery.
