UNSPSC 50553637: Canned or jarred non GMO palomino grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO palomino 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 50553637 Canned or jarred non-GMO palomino grapes (Commodity) does not appear to be actively solicited by state and local procurement offices based on recent posted opportunities. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities; the recent opportunities tagged to this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food-service commodities for schools, corrections facilities, health-and-human-services institutions, and county nutrition programs, none of which match the specific product scope of canned or jarred non-GMO palomino grapes. The opportunities reflect broad food-service procurement across state departments, county boards of education, school districts, and specialized facilities, but the product specifications—applesauce, fresh fruits and vegetables, general shelf-stable food items—do not include grapes or grape products.

The issuing bodies shown across the broader food-commodity activity include county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Bridgeport, Connecticut), state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health-and-human-services agencies (Texas, Illinois Veterans Home), independent school districts (Austin, Texas), and county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Georgia), with geographic spread across the South, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest. Responses have been due or are due between May and October 2026 under IFB, RFP, and informal quote formats. The lack of specific activity under this commodity code suggests either limited state and local demand for canned palomino grapes, procurement under different codes, or direct purchasing outside formal RFP cycles. A vendor pursuing this code should confirm whether state and local food-service programs actively specify this product or whether similar fruit items are consolidated under broader commodity groupings.
