UNSPSC 50553664: Canned or jarred non GMO white riesling grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO white riesling 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 50553664 Canned or jarred non GMO white riesling grapes is a Commodity code that in practice receives little relevant state and local procurement activity; recent solicitations tagged to this code actually seek shelf-stable and canned food products far outside the specialty-grape scope. State and local governments buying under related food-supply codes are procuring broad categories of canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and processed staples for institutional food service—including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies span county boards of education, state departments of corrections and health services, city nutrition centers, county senior services, and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agencies. The work consists of supplying meal programs and institutional cafeterias through fixed-price, firm-delivery contracts typically running 12 months with optional renewal periods, with awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on best-value grounds based on specification compliance, price, and vendor performance history.

The recent activity shows geographic spread across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, and Arizona, with no single state dominating. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issuing an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces, due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issuing multiple ITBs for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants due August 24, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year due June 26, 2026. The code itself shows minimal activity aligned with its nominal scope; the sourced opportunities reflect standard institutional food procurement that state and local buyers conduct under broader commodity classifications.
