UNSPSC 50533407: Dried non GMO baresana grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO baresana 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 50533407 Dried non GMO baresana grapes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — specialty dried grapes of a specific cultivar — diverges sharply from what state and local agencies are actually buying under food-service procurement codes in the same category and tier. The recent opportunities block contains fourteen solicitations spanning school districts, counties, cities, and state agencies, yet none specifically name dried baresana grapes or any dried-grape product. Instead, state and local procurement under food-related codes centers on comprehensive grocery supply contracts, fresh produce, meal preparation and delivery, and bulk food distribution supporting schools, senior centers, and institutional dining.

The absence of activity under this code reflects the nature of commodity-level procurement: while state and local food-service programs are active buyers, they typically procure through broader family-level or class-level codes that cover produce, condiments, and dry goods in aggregate rather than single-product commodity lines. The recent solicitations demonstrate that school districts, county commissioners, and state health agencies source fresh produce, frozen items, grains, dairy, and prepared meals in large volume — the Douglas County School System alone expects approximately $9 million annually in food supply and distribution — but the opportunities point to standard produce categories (apples, berries, carrots, citrus) and packaged groceries rather than specialty dried-fruit items. Vendors pursuing the dried-baresana-grapes code should expect minimal or episodic state and local demand and should verify category placement or broader food-commodity codes for better alignment with actual procurement patterns in school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations.
