UNSPSC 50553622: Canned or jarred non GMO lagrein grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO lagrein 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 50553622 Canned or jarred non-GMO lagrein grapes (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under this code. Recent opportunities in the source material show no purchasing of canned or jarred lagrein grapes. Instead, the code has been applied to general food commodity procurements by state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and county governments acquiring shelf-stable food products including canned applesauce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and fresh produce for institutional food service. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). This suggests the code is being used as a catch-all for bulk food commodities rather than for the specific product named in the UNSPSC taxonomy.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical monetary value of $1.5 million for the prior contract period (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026); and Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service under Texas Education Code Section 44.031(3) (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Procurement methods include IFB, ITB, RFP, and informal written quote (IWQ). Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements appear in school district and municipal procurements; the Oregon Department of Corrections applies Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling up to 10 percent. No recent opportunities match the nominal UNSPSC code description of non-GMO lagrein grapes.
