UNSPSC 50533432: Dried non GMO emperor grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO emperor 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 50533432 Dried non-GMO emperor grapes is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains fourteen recent opportunities spanning school nutrition, senior meal delivery, and institutional food service, none of which explicitly name dried non-GMO emperor grapes or dried-grape products as line items. The opportunities instead solicit comprehensive food supply contracts encompassing fresh produce, groceries, proteins, dairy, and prepared meals, with fresh fruit, frozen fruit, and canned fruit categories mentioned across multiple school district RFPs and IFBs, but no specification that dried non-GMO emperor grapes are being actively sourced.

The issuing bodies in the source—school districts (Fairfax County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Pascagoula-Gautier, Hancock County, and Meriden Public Schools), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Education), county governments (Hillsborough County), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport, City of Dallas)—are soliciting fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples under Buy American and nutrition-compliance requirements. Buyers across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia have posted opportunities for main-line food distributors, fresh-produce suppliers, and grocery vendors in the past ninety days, but none identify dried grapes as a specification item or category. The code's nominal scope—a specialty dried fruit commodity—does not align with the commodity-level agricultural products actually being sought in recent state and local school nutrition and institutional food service procurement. Proceed only if your firm has established relationships with specific districts' nutrition directors or state food-service procurement offices actively managing dried-grape sourcing outside of these posted notices.
