UNSPSC 50533424: Dried non GMO concord seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO concord 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 50533424 Dried non-GMO Concord seedless grapes is a Commodity code covering preserved grape products for institutional food service. State and local procurement under this code centers on school nutrition programs and institutional food supply contracts where dried grapes appear as line items within broader fresh and processed produce solicitations. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state education agencies procuring for child nutrition programs under National School Lunch Program compliance, supplemented by county and municipal governments purchasing for senior meal services and state facilities. Vendors supplying under this code must meet Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, provide detailed product labeling and nutritional documentation, undergo laboratory and blind testing by institutional personnel, and maintain insurance coverage naming the purchasing entity as additional insured.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and reflects institutional bulk purchasing rather than retail distribution.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026, with a historical volume of $1.5 million annually. Hillsborough County in Florida solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services at an estimated $17.8 million over three years, reflecting the institutional meal-service context where dried grape products feature as specification-controlled ingredients rather than standalone procurement drivers.
