UNSPSC 50553627: Canned or jarred non GMO mataro grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO mataro 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 50553627 Canned or jarred non-GMO Mataro grapes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity; the opportunities posted under this code classification involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, weekly food orders, fresh produce, and other food items unrelated to the canned grape specification the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual solicitations suggests either tagging error in the procurement records or dormant demand for canned Mataro grapes specifically in state and local government food service.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across the broader food procurement landscape represented in the source, with numerous school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Dallas ISD, Douglas County, Hancock County, and Austin ISD) posting RFPs and IFBs for groceries, produce, and specialty foods. State agencies—Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Illinois Chief Procurement Office—also appear regularly. Opportunities are concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and scattered across the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026, with a 10% combined state-goods and headquarter-based preference), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million), and Hancock County Schools IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). Buy American requirements and domestic-content minimums (typically 51% for processed products) appear consistently across school district and state-level RFPs and IFBs. Given the code's dormancy and the disconnect between its specification and current solicitation patterns, pursuit is not warranted absent direct inquiry from a prospect actively sourcing canned Mataro grapes for institutional food service.
