UNSPSC 50553648: Canned or jarred non GMO salvador grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO salvador 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 50553648 Canned or jarred non-GMO Salvador grapes is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's scope nominally addresses a single shelf-stable produce item — canned or jarred grapes with non-GMO certification — but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations targeting this product specifically. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code describe broader food-service procurement for institutional facilities including county senior services centers, state veterans' homes, state prisons and supported living centers, school districts, and municipal boards of education. These solicitations request dried fruit bars, canned applesauce, fresh produce, general commodities for nutrition programs, and mixed food items for cafeteria or food-service operations. The issuing bodies span state agencies (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), municipal departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), independent school districts (Austin ISD), and county commissioners' offices (Gwinnett County, Georgia).

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with recent notices from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (ODOC), Illinois (veterans home), and Connecticut (Bridgeport). The representative opportunities show no direct procurement of the code's nominal product. Instead, Oregon Department of Corrections has posted two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (June 2 and July 31, 2026 due dates), Texas HHSC and DSHS requested bids on supplemental food and consumable products including canned and fresh fruit (March 19, 2026 deadline, maximum $4.5 million over three years), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (October 19, 2026 due date). Austin ISD solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP (July 16, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for canned or jarred non-GMO grapes specifically.
