UNSPSC 50553638: Canned or jarred non GMO petit verdot grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO petit verdot 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 50553638 Canned or jarred non GMO petit verdot grapes is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity that maps directly to the nominal scope. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting canned petit verdot grapes specifically under this code at present. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span fresh produce, dried fruit bars, canned applesauce, and broad food and consumable procurement for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs — none of which target the specific product category named in the code. The issuing bodies across the broader food-commodity landscape include state departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia, State of Illinois), county boards of education and commissioners (Gwinnett County Georgia, Hancock County Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education), and state criminal justice agencies (Texas TDCJ). These jurisdictions procure shelf-stable and fresh food products in large volumes to support institutional food service, inmate nutrition, senior services, and student meal programs.

The geographic spread of recent food-commodity opportunities concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with activity also in Illinois, Connecticut, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with delivery by December 7, 2026; the State of Illinois's August 2026 brand-specific and brand-or-equal proposals for weekly food orders at the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy; the Oregon Department of Corrections's July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (historical award price $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Because recent state and local activity under this code does not reflect procurement of the specific product named — canned or jarred non GMO petit verdot grapes — vendors pursuing opportunities in this commodity space should monitor broader food-service RFPs and IFBs at institutional buyers rather than expect solicitations targeting petit verdot specifically.
