UNSPSC 50533435: Dried non GMO fantasy grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO fantasy 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 50533435 Dried non-GMO fantasy grapes is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant purchasing. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual work being solicited by state and local buyers in the opportunities posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span broad grocery and food service procurement — including fresh produce, prepared meals, and institutional food-service supplies — but do not isolate or specifically call for dried non-GMO fantasy grapes or any comparable specialty dried-fruit products. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error or the code's minimal practical use in state and local procurement at present.

Geographic activity in the recent opportunities spans Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education and State of Georgia), Florida (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District). Issuing bodies include school districts, county governments, state agencies, and county boards of commissioners, with school nutrition programs appearing as frequent buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items including fresh produce and prepared foods (due June 30, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items across apple varieties, berries, and root vegetables (due June 26, 2026). None of these solicitations target dried specialty fruits as a primary commodity.
