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, a Commodity code, nominally describes a single product line but shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with that specific item. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried Dauphine grapes or dried specialty grapes generally. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broader food and nutrition procurement — fresh produce, grocery items, prepared meals, and food-service supplies — none of which foreground dried specialty grape varieties. School districts, county governments, and state health agencies are the primary issuing bodies in the visible recent activity, sourcing items through IFB and ITB vehicles to support school nutrition programs and senior meal services under National School Lunch Program and Buy American compliance requirements.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities includes Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center), Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education and State of Georgia), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District). Representative recent solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items due June 30, 2026, Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce with over 200 line items due June 26, 2026, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026. No recent solicitation identified in the source targets dried specialty grapes; the code shows little decision-relevant procurement activity for the commodity as specified.
