UNSPSC 50553662: Canned or jarred non GMO triplett blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO triplett 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 50553662 Canned or jarred non-GMO Triplett blanc grapes (Commodity) does not align with the scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single specialty fruit product, but the most-recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for that item. Instead, the ten recent opportunities span a broad range of food and consumable purchases—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, proteins, grains, condiments, and generic shelf-stable pantry items—across county boards of education, state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, school districts, and municipal procurement offices. The issuing bodies include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District (Texas), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), and the State of Georgia. None of these opportunities target canned or jarred grapes, whether non-GMO or otherwise.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with a geographic spread also reaching Colorado. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (bids due July 31, 2026) at a historical price of $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with 210 line items and a potential three-year value of $4.5 million (bid response deadline March 19, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport's bid for 115 commodity line items to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center (submissions due June 26, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears misclassified relative to the actual work state and local governments are buying in this food-supply space.
