UNSPSC 50553625: Canned or jarred non GMO malvasia bianca grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO malvasia bianca 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 50553625 Canned or jarred non-GMO malvasia bianca grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit specifically for this product; the recent opportunities block contains no procurement activity directly matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code reflect broad food-service purchasing under generic commodity classifications—shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fresh produce, and food-service supplies for correctional facilities, schools, senior services, veterans' homes, and state health agencies. The code appears to be a misapplied or over-specific classification applied to general food procurement that encompasses canned fruits, applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce as components of larger food-service contracts rather than a distinct product line.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Gwinnett County in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas), and state-supported living centers. Recent activity is concentrated in the South and Upper Midwest—Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut—with opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; and Austin Independent School District's June 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. No procurement is currently active under the specific malvasia bianca classification itself.
