UNSPSC 50553632: Canned or jarred non GMO muscat blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO muscat 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 50553632 Canned or jarred non-GMO muscat blanc grapes (Commodity) frames a narrow specialty produce item, but recent state and local opportunities show the code capturing a broader swath of canned and jarred shelf-stable fruit and related consumables for institutional food service. State and local buyers are sourcing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and general commodity food items through this classification, indicating the code functions as a catch-all for preserved fruit products and institutional food provisioning rather than a strict limit to muscat blanc grapes specifically. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), and special facilities such as state-supported living centers and veterans' homes. Recent solicitations span IFBs, RFQs, and RFPs with response windows typically ranging from two to four weeks.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, with Gwinnett County and Hancock County schools posting in June and October 2026) and in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, and Austin ISD posting May through June 2026), with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections, May and July 2026) and Illinois (state veterans home, June and August 2026). Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; and Texas HHSC's June 2026 IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. The Texas HHSC supplemental food procurement (May 2026) encompassed 210 line items and carried a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Most solicitations require firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA standards, commercial general liability insurance typically ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and responses within 7 to 14 days of posting.
