UNSPSC 50533418: Dried non GMO calmeria grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO calmeria 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 50533418 Dried non GMO calmeria grapes is a Commodity code that maps to school nutrition and institutional food procurement, though recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show no solicitations for dried grapes specifically. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, the State of Georgia, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi have all posted nutrition-related solicitations in the past four months, but these opportunities span fresh produce, comprehensive grocery items for school lunch programs, senior meal services, and packaged meal boxes—none explicitly listing dried non-GMO calmeria grapes as a line item. Issuing bodies include school districts, county commissions, state health agencies, and municipal purchasing departments, reflecting the institutional food-service base that typically procures dried fruit products.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Gulf Coast states. Hancock County Schools in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content and delivery to three school sites; Hillsborough County in Florida issued an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years due June 25, 2026; the City of Bridgeport posted a grocery-items IFB for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services covering over 1,100 line items due June 30, 2026, also requiring 51 percent Buy American compliance; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. The code shows limited current relevance to dried-grape procurement; vendors pursuing dried fruit sales to state and local nutrition programs may need to monitor broader grocery-commodity codes or contact school districts and institutional foodservice buyers directly.
