UNSPSC 50553640: Canned or jarred non GMO pinot blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO pinot 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 50553640 Canned or jarred non-GMO pinot blanc grapes (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local solicitations captured under this code. The recent opportunities show active procurement of broadly defined canned and jarred shelf-stable food products—including canned applesauce, mixed fresh and frozen produce, cafeteria staples, and general food-service commodities—by county boards of education, state corrections departments, state supported living centers, and city school nutrition programs. None of the posted opportunities specifically name canned or jarred pinot blanc grapes or any varietal-specific wine grapes as a procured item. The code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being bought.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under codes in this food-commodity family include Georgia counties, Illinois state agencies, Oregon correctional facilities, Texas state health services and criminal justice systems, Connecticut school districts, and school districts in Texas and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975 in May and S2910000017453 in July, both due within weeks of posting with historical pricing near $21.83 per case), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued large-scope IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products statewide with contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years. School districts including Austin Independent School District (RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce, due June 2026), and Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB BNB053266 for commodities, due June 2026) regularly solicit food products through sealed-bid or RFP processes. The geographic spread centers on Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with procurement activity concentrated among state agencies and school nutrition programs. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated commodity.
