UNSPSC 50533429: Dried non GMO early sweet grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO early sweet 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 50533429 Dried non-GMO early sweet grapes, a Commodity code, sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single dried-fruit product line, yet the six recent opportunities posted across the category span fresh produce, prepared meals, packaged meal boxes, and broad-line grocery procurement — none of which match dried grapes specifically. The mismatch suggests that either the code is tagged inconsistently across issuing bodies, or dried grapes are bundled into broader food-supply contracts where they represent a minor line item rather than a standalone solicitation target.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), municipal school nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for its El Paso State Supported Living Center), and county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida). Geographic activity is scattered across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida, with response dates ranging from late April through late June 2026. Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) covers over 1,100 line items and requires 51 percent domestic agricultural content under Buy American provisions; Hancock County's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) spans 200 line items of fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition; and Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB2600289, due June 25, 2026) carries an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90. Because dried grapes do not appear as a named line item in any of these solicitations, the code shows no actionable recent market activity for this specific commodity.
