UNSPSC 50553647: Canned or jarred non GMO ruby cabernet grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO ruby cabernet 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 50553647 Canned or jarred non-GMO ruby cabernet grapes is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent activity—state and local procurement records show no recent solicitations actually seeking the product named in the code. The recent opportunities posted under this code instead request canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, weekly food orders, fresh produce, eggs, and various food service commodities for school nutrition programs, institutional dining, and state facility foodservice. The code appears to be tagged inconsistently across multiple jurisdictions, and the mismatch between the nominal scope (non-GMO ruby cabernet grapes in canned or jarred form) and actual procurements suggests either cataloging error or disuse of this specific commodity designation.

Issuing bodies posting under this code include state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Hancock County Board of Education), a municipal board of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and regional education cooperatives. Recent opportunities span Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant use case. Representative recent procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (response due July 16, 2026), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (response due March 4, 2026). The code shows no current activity matching its stated commodity name and appears to warrant reclassification or correction in the issuing database.
