UNSPSC 50553652: Canned or jarred non GMO semillon grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO semillon 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 50553652 Canned or jarred non-GMO semillon grapes is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its scope. The code shows no solicitations specifically requesting canned or jarred non-GMO semillon grapes. Recent opportunities tagged under or near this code instead solicit broad food service categories—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and mixed food and consumable products—that fall outside the narrow commodity this code nominally describes, indicating either mislabeling in state procurement systems or dormant demand for the specific product line.

State and local food service procurement volumes remain substantial, but they concentrate on mainstream commodity categories rather than specialty grape products. School nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Austin Independent School District), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal bodies (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut) actively solicit food supplies across multiple categories through ITB, RFP, and IFB notice types with response dates ranging from February through July 2026. Geographic activity spans Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, but state correction and health agencies and city nutrition centers also buy regularly. Because the code as tagged does not correspond to observed procurement activity, vendors in specialty beverage or fruit products should verify the actual UNSPSC classification used by their target jurisdictions before pursuing opportunities under this code.
