UNSPSC 50533425: Dried non GMO crimson seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO crimson 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 50533425 Dried non-GMO crimson seedless grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little direct activity purchasing dried grapes specifically. Instead, the code's recent solicitations reflect broader food procurement for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and state-supported living facilities—categories that may include dried fruit as one line item among hundreds spanning fresh produce, frozen goods, proteins, and pantry staples. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery bid for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 food and consumable products solicitation for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh produce bid collectively represent the issuing-body mix: school districts, county education boards, state health agencies, and county commissioners. These jurisdictions purchase food under the National School Lunch Program and related child nutrition initiatives, subject to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP plans, Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act compliance, and extensive food-safety and labeling requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and mid-Atlantic regions, with posted opportunities from Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Florida between April and June 2026. The Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery IFB (due June 30, 2026) spans over 1,100 line items with firm fixed pricing and 48-hour delivery windows to school sites; the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) specifies over 200 produce line items, firm pricing throughout the contract year, and delivery to three school locations; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products IFB for state-supported living (due July 13, 2026) carries a historical spend baseline of $1.5 million annually with award on best-value rather than lowest-price criteria. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior meal preparation and delivery services ITB (due June 25, 2026, estimated value $17.8 million over three years) reflects a distinct but related market—congregate and home-delivered nutrition for elderly populations, requiring Florida Department of Elderly Affairs caterer licensure and comprehensive liability and specialized insurance. Dried grapes, if purchased, would appear as a minor commodity within these broader food baskets rather than as a standalone contract vehicle.
