UNSPSC 50553626: Canned or jarred non GMO marsanne grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO marsanne 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 50553626 Canned or jarred non-GMO marsanne grapes, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific varietal of preserved grapes — does not align with the food-service purchasing patterns visible in recent solicitations under or near this taxonomy. State and local buyers in the source material are procuring shelf-stable food products for institutional food service: school districts, county and state departments buying canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, applesauce, and commodity-grade items in bulk. The recent opportunities span school nutrition programs, corrections departments, veterans homes, senior services, and state health facilities — all buying items by the case or truckload for high-volume meal preparation, not specialty grape products. When canned or jarred fruit appears in these solicitations (notably applesauce contracts from Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas HHSC), the items are commodity-grade, USDA-specified, and procured in volumes of hundreds or thousands of cases with firm fixed pricing and FOB destination terms standard across food-service buys.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County schools, State of Georgia), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts, state departments of corrections and health, county boards of education, and municipal nutrition centers. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (35 line items of shelf-stable food, RFQ, due October 19, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, ITB, due July 31, 2026), Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables to state supported living centers ($1.5 million historical value, due July 13, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB for school year 2027 (over 200 line items, due June 26, 2026). The code shows no identifiable recent state or local opportunity explicitly tagged as canned or jarred marsanne grapes or comparable specialty preserved grape products.
