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 that does not map to recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains thirteen recent opportunities solicited under this code, but none involve dried grapes or any dried fruit products; instead, they predominantly address fresh produce, comprehensive grocery and food supply, meal preparation and delivery, and school nutrition contracting. The code appears to have been assigned to these opportunities as a catch-all or administrative classification error rather than reflecting the actual goods and services being procured. No state or local buyer is actively soliciting dried non-GMO concord seedless grapes as a standalone item or as part of a targeted procurement under this taxonomy heading.

Activity under this code is not actionable for vendors specializing in dried grape products. The recent opportunities visible in state and local procurement databases are dominated by school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal governments seeking fresh produce (apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables), comprehensive grocery supply including meat, dairy, grains, and snacks, fresh eggs, and meal preparation and delivery services. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking grocery items for school nutrition (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring food and consumable products for a state-supported living center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requesting fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut seeking commercial groceries and USDA Foods (RFP 026-41, due February 25, 2026, with an anticipated contract value of $3.1 million). Activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. The mismatch between code and actual procurement suggests that monitoring this UNSPSC tier for dried grape opportunities would be inefficient; vendors should instead track school nutrition RFPs and grocery supply solicitations through state and local procurement portals using keyword searches for produce, fruit, or food service rather than relying on this code.
