UNSPSC 50533426: Dried non GMO dauphine grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO dauphine 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 50533426 Dried non-GMO Dauphine grapes (Commodity) appears in the taxonomy but shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's specific product scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under or near this code are overwhelmingly general grocery, fresh produce, meal preparation, and food service solicitations from school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and municipal governments — none of which reference dried Dauphine grapes or dried grape products as a line item or focus area. The sourcing activity in the dataset spans comprehensive fresh-produce contracts (fresh apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), complete grocery supply for school nutrition programs (breakfast items, frozen products, condiments, meats, dairy), and prepared meal delivery services for seniors and municipal events, but dried specialty grape varieties do not appear as a procurement target in any of the posted solicitations.

The issuing bodies active in food and produce procurement under nearby UNSPSC codes include large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), municipal purchasing departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; City of Dallas, Texas), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and independent school districts (Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Mississippi). Geographic concentration in the recent-opportunity dataset includes Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, State of Georgia procurement), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Bridgeport, Meriden), Texas (El Paso State Supported Living Center, City of Dallas), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier). Representative current solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), the Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026 for approximately $9 million annually), and Hancock County Board of Education's Fresh Produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). If your firm supplies dried specialty fruit products to institutional food service, this code classification appears misaligned with active state and local demand signals — monitor the code for any emergence of dried-fruit or specialty-commodity procurement from food service cooperatives or state-level aggregated purchasing initiatives, but expect limited near-term opportunity.
