UNSPSC 50533404: Dried non GMO autumn king grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO autumn king 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 50533404 Dried non-GMO autumn king grapes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's narrow specificity—a single varietal of dried fruit with particular agricultural designation—does not align with the solicitations posted in the source data, which focus on comprehensive grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, school nutrition meal services, and senior meal delivery across multiple jurisdictions.

The recent opportunities tagged with this code span school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Pascagoula-Gautier, Fairfax County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Meriden), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia), county governments (Hillsborough County, Douglas County), and municipal procurement offices (Dallas, Meriden). The work being solicited is institutional food service—master grocery contracts with 1,100-plus line items spanning breakfast items, proteins, dairy, frozen goods, produce, and condiments; fresh produce supply with dozens of common varieties; school nutrition program meal preparation; and senior congregate and home-delivered meal services. None of the solicitations enumerate dried autumn king grapes or highlight varietal dried fruit as a discrete procurement line. The geographic spread covers Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant issuing body type. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's grocery bid for the Board of Education (IFB, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce procurement covering over 200 line items (IFB, due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract serving 45 schools (IFB, due April 27, 2026), and Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution services across 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million (RFP, due February 18, 2026).
