UNSPSC 50533421: Dried non GMO chasselas/golden chasselas grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO chasselas/golden chasselas 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 50533421 Dried non-GMO chasselas/golden chasselas grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty dried fruit ingredients for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities indexed under this code reflect a much broader scope of food procurement that does not consistently align with the specific product name. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (Georgia). The solicitations range from comprehensive grocery and fresh produce contracts spanning over 1,000 line items to specialized meal preparation and delivery services, with many contracts explicitly subject to Buy American requirements mandating a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content. Recent opportunities emphasize compliance with the National School Lunch Program, the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, HACCP food safety plans, emergency 24-hour delivery capability, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel or freight surcharges permitted.

The recent activity concentrates in the Southeast, with solicitations posted from Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi between April and June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for school food service (due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty items (due June 26, 2026); and Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year contract value of $17,832,659.90 (due June 25, 2026). These opportunities collectively signal that the code, despite its narrow commodity name, functions in practice as an entry point for institutional food service vendors across school nutrition, state health facilities, and senior meal programs.
