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 is a Class code that captures dried fruit products procured by state and local school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county governments primarily for institutional food service operations. The code appears in solicitations for school nutrition programs, state-supported living centers, senior meal services, and general institutional food supply contracts where dried grapes are one line item among broader grocery or fresh and dried produce procurement. State and local buyers typically source dried table grapes as components of larger meal programs subject to nutrition standards, Buy American provision requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items in some jurisdictions), and HACCP or food safety compliance. Recent opportunities show the code embedded in multi-line-item grocery and produce RFQs and IFBs rather than as standalone dried-grape procurements.

The mix of issuing bodies includes school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and South—Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Florida—based on recent postings from June and May 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 produce line items with delivery to three school sites for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for grocery items (due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items including dried fruits under the National School Lunch Program; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for food and consumable products (due July 13, 2026) with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period. All solicitations enforce firm fixed pricing throughout the contract term, prepaid freight, and compliance with state or federal nutrition and food safety standards.
