UNSPSC 50553650: Canned or jarred non GMO sauvignon blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO sauvignon 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 50553650 Canned or jarred non-GMO sauvignon blanc grapes (Commodity) does not align with the state and local food procurement activity recorded in recent solicitations. The code's specific scope—non-GMO sauvignon blanc grapes in canned or jarred form—appears in no recent state or local opportunities. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover broad shelf-stable and fresh food procurement for institutional food service, including produce, proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, fruits, applesauce, dried fruit bars, and general food commodities for corrections facilities, schools, senior services, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers across multiple states.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code comprise state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state education systems (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). Recent activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and Missouri, with the most concentrated bid volume in Texas institutional food service and multiple competing bids for applesauce and fresh produce contracts. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods (peanut butter, canned proteins, vegetables, rice, pasta) due October 19; Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales; Texas TDCJ's May 2026 IFB for 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouses, due May 4; and Texas Health and Human Services' May 2026 IFB for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers, with a three-year contract value ceiling of $4.5 million. The mismatch between the code's nominal product (sauvignon blanc grapes) and the actual institutional food-service procurement across these opportunities suggests either misclassification in the source tagging or minimal procurement activity for the specific commodity itself.
