UNSPSC 50533405: Dried non GMO autumn royal grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO autumn royal 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 50533405 Dried non-GMO autumn royal grapes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, institutional food supply, and catering across multiple jurisdictions, but the actual goods being solicited—fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, leafy greens), eggs, complete grocery assortments, and prepared meals—do not match the narrow scope of dried autumn royal grapes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source notices or incidental inclusion of this varietal as a line item within much broader food procurement families.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), alongside state agencies (Georgia, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), and municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (April 2026, response due April 27) covering 76+ grocery items across 45 schools; Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods RFP (response due February 25, 2026, anticipated $3.1 million contract value); the State of Georgia's fresh produce IFB (response due May 27, 2026); and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services ITB (response due June 25, 2026, estimated $17.8 million over three years). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas. Given the code's narrow product definition and the absence of specific dried autumn royal grape solicitations, pursuit depends on whether dried-grape availability is a material line item in any broader school nutrition or institutional food supply opportunity.
