UNSPSC 50533409: Dried non GMO beauty seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO beauty seedless 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 50533409 Dried non-GMO beauty seedless grapes, a Commodity code, encompasses dried grape products procured by state and local governments primarily for school nutrition and senior meal programs, though the recent opportunity record shows limited direct solicitation of this specific item. State and local buyers under this code include school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners' offices. The actual purchasing is embedded within much broader grocery and food-service contracts that span hundreds of line items—fresh produce, prepared foods, consumables, and supplies—rather than as standalone dried-grape procurements. When dried grapes do appear, they are qualified by nutrition standards (Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act compliance, whole grain and allergen requirements), Buy American domestic-content rules (typically 51 percent for processed agricultural products), and strict food-safety and labeling mandates including nutritional panels, HACCP plans, and blind product testing by school personnel and laboratory technicians.

Recent state and local activity shows school districts and county boards of education as the primary buyers. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education posted an IFB on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the National School Lunch Program, with firm pricing through June 30, 2027, and 48-hour emergency delivery capability required. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year, due June 26, 2026, with contracts running July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with bids due July 13, 2026, and a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior twelve-month period. Hillsborough County (Florida) Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years.
