UNSPSC 50533415: Dried non GMO black pearl grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO black pearl 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 50533415 Dried non-GMO black pearl grapes, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the broader state and local food procurement ecosystem, though recent solicitations do not show direct procurement activity specifically for this item—instead, the code appears tagged in opportunities purchasing comprehensive grocery and food service packages that include dried grape products among hundreds of line items spanning produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods.

State and local food procurement under broader grocery and fresh-produce codes shows strong activity across school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipalities. Recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) soliciting over 1,100 line items of grocery goods with a June 30, 2026 deadline; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring food and consumable products for state-supported living centers ($1.5 million historical value, July 11, 2026 deadline); Hancock County Schools (Georgia) seeking fresh produce across 200+ line items (June 26, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issuing a Master Grocery K-12 contract for 45 schools plus distribution facilities (April 27, 2026); and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) procuring commercial groceries, beverages, and USDA Foods for 8,200 students across 13 sites with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3,100,000 (February 25, 2026 deadline). School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with recurring buys from large systems like Douglas County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia). State agencies and county commissioners also participate, as seen in Texas Health and Human Services and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), which issued an ITB for senior meal services valued at approximately $17,832,659.90 over three years.

Geographic concentration reflects heavy procurement in the Southeast—Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina appear frequently—with significant activity in Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and Mississippi. Solicitation types are predominantly IFB and RFP vehicles; most specify firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance (51% domestic agricultural content in many cases), HACCP food safety plans, delivery to multiple sites Monday through Friday during school hours, and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms. Vendors typically face three-year or longer performance histories as qualification thresholds and must maintain commercial general liability insurance at $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate. Dried non-GMO black pearl grapes specifically do not appear as standalone procurement items in recent opportunities; vendors pursuing this code should monitor school district fresh-produce and grocery master contracts where specialty dried fruits may be included as line-item offerings within larger multi-category solicitations.
