UNSPSC 50533414: Dried non GMO black monukka grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO black monukka 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 50533414 Dried non GMO black monukka grapes is a Commodity code that sits within a produce-supply category, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not show specific solicitations for dried grapes or raisins. Instead, the opportunities span a much broader scope: school nutrition programs soliciting fresh produce, frozen produce, and packaged meal services; a state health and human services facility requesting food and consumable products; a county senior meal program requesting meal preparation and delivery; and a state solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products. The code appears to be tagged to school-nutrition and institutional-food-service purchasing more broadly, rather than to a narrowly defined dried-fruit product line. The issuing bodies are school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and special-purpose institutional purchasers (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Across these opportunities, the dominant pattern is institutional food service and school nutrition—Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, nutritional-standard requirements, and multi-month contract terms are standard.

The geographic spread includes Connecticut (Bridgeport), Texas (El Paso), Georgia (Hancock County and statewide), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), with activity concentrated in school-district purchasing and state-level institutional food procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for the Board of Education with a June 30, 2026 response date and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 11, 2026 and a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million; and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items with a June 26, 2026 due date and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The code shows recent activity, but the mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dried non-GMO black monukka grapes) and the actual procurement activity (broad-based institutional food service) suggests either broad misclassification in tagging or limited relevance of this specific commodity code to current market opportunity.
