UNSPSC 50533400: Dried non GMO table grapes

The type of non GMO grape known as non GMO table grapes that have been dried 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 50533400 Dried non-GMO table grapes (Class) does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded in recent solicitations. The opportunities in the dataset span fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supplies, packaged meals, and catering services — none of which specifically mention dried grapes or dried non-GMO table grape products. The code's nominal scope differs materially from the work being solicited under the opportunities linked to it.

Recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code includes fresh produce contracts from school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), comprehensive grocery and food service procurement from school districts and state agencies (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, State of Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut), food and consumable products for state-supported facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for El Paso State Supported Living Center), senior meal preparation and delivery services (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), packaged meal boxes for summer food service (Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), and catering services for government events (City of Dallas). School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with state agencies, county governments, and municipal purchasing offices as secondary participants. The geographic footprint spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Connecticut, Mississippi, and other jurisdictions. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity for dried non-GMO table grapes specifically; the mismatch between the code's scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a classification error in the source data or minimal current market activity for this specific commodity under state and local procurement channels.
