UNSPSC 50553656: Canned or jarred non GMO syrah grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO syrah 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 50553656 Canned or jarred non-GMO Syrah grapes (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The nine opportunities tagged under or near this code span fresh produce, dried fruit products, canned applesauce, broad food service commodities for schools and institutional facilities, and cafeteria supplies for correctional and residential centers — none of which match the specific scope of canned or jarred non-GMO Syrah grapes. The single most concrete opportunity under the nominal code name, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (posted October 2026, due October 19, 2026), lists peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables with no grape products specified. Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce twice in the recent cycle (ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 and ITB S2910000016975 in May 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers — all institutional food service work with no grape products named.

The mismatch between the code's product name and actual recent procurement suggests this Commodity code sees little or no state and local activity targeting canned or jarred non-GMO grapes specifically. Issuers across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut are actively buying fresh and processed food items for schools, corrections departments, veterans homes, and county senior services, but their line-item specifications cluster around proteins, produce staples, dairy, and shelf-stable pantry goods rather than specialty grape products. Any vendor pursuing this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices are using it as filed or whether grape-related purchasing, if it occurs, is tagged under broader commodity or fresh-produce codes instead.
