UNSPSC 50533423: Dried non GMO concord grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO concord 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 50533423 Dried non-GMO concord grapes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains fourteen recent opportunities spanning school districts, county governments, state agencies, and municipal entities across Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Virginia, and Mississippi posted between January and June 2026, but none specifically solicit dried grapes or dried fruit products. The posted solicitations span fresh produce procurement (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, eggs), comprehensive grocery supply (staple foods, beverages, condiments, packaged items), and meal preparation and delivery services, but dried non-GMO concord grapes are not named in any of the specifications, line-item lists, or scope descriptions that would indicate active demand under this commodity code.

School districts and school food authorities represent the primary active buyer base in the sample, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), and Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) all issuing competitive solicitations during this period. State agencies (Georgia, Texas) and county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida; Douglas County, Georgia) also procurement food service items. Dried grapes as a commodity remain absent from current procurement signals despite the substantial volume of food service bidding activity nationwide, suggesting either low utilization in the school nutrition and public food service segments or procurement through broader grocery frameworks that do not itemize dried fruit separately.
