UNSPSC 50533416: Dried non GMO black seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO black 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 50533416 Dried non-GMO black seedless grapes, a Commodity code, shows sparse recent activity in state and local procurement. The available sources reveal no solicitations specifically requesting dried black seedless grapes as a line item. A search across the most-recent opportunities identifies school districts, counties, and municipal agencies buying fresh produce, packaged meals, groceries, and institutional food service—but none of the posted solicitations name dried black seedless grapes or raisins as a distinct procurement need. The sourced opportunities instead target broader categories: fresh-produce contracts (apples, berries, carrots, citrus, leafy greens, potatoes); school nutrition grocery bids spanning beverages, grains, dairy, meat, and canned or frozen vegetables; and meal preparation and delivery services. While some of these contracts include fresh or dried fruit items in their general grocery scope, dried black seedless grapes do not appear as a named commodity in any recent IFB, RFP, or ITB notice from state departments, school districts, county purchasing offices, or municipal agencies in the posting window reviewed.

Opportunity volume under this code does not support active pursuit at this time. The absence of recent dedicated solicitations for dried black seedless grapes—despite consistent state and local procurement activity for fresh produce, canned goods, and commodity foods—suggests either limited demand for this specific item, procurement bundled into larger agricultural or grocery contracts where line-item visibility is obscured, or sourcing through cooperative purchasing vehicles or standing agreements not reflected in public notice postings. Business development professionals should monitor broader fresh-produce and grocery commodity solicitations (particularly those from school nutrition programs and institutional food service) for potential inclusion of dried fruit categories, but should not prioritize dedicated pursuit of this code absent evidence of standalone buying activity.
