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, does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged with this code involve fresh produce, bulk groceries, meal preparation and delivery, and comprehensive food service supply across school districts, county agencies, and municipal governments—none of which center on dried grapes or any dried fruit line item. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal commodity and the solicitations suggests either misclassification by the posting agency or dormant procurement demand for the specific product named.

State and local buying under this code, when activity appears, would support school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations in jurisdictions across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Recent opportunities—including the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery RFP, the Hancock County School System's fresh produce IFB, and the Meriden Public Schools RFP—consistently tag food-service procurement with broader commodity codes rather than single-product classifications. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education, alongside state agencies and municipal purchasing offices. No recent solicitation explicitly named dried grapes or a similar dried-fruit product, and no vendor responses or awarded contracts under this code are documented in the source material.
