UNSPSC 50533438: Dried non GMO flame seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO flame seedless 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 50533438 Dried non-GMO flame seedless grapes, a Commodity code, sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a single dried fruit product—does not align with the opportunities tagged under it in the available recent record. State and local government procurement offices tagging opportunities with this code are instead soliciting broad grocery and food-service categories: school nutrition programs requesting comprehensive food supply contracts spanning produce, proteins, grains, dairy, and condiments; county and municipal meal-service programs seeking fresh or prepared meals across multiple food types; and institutional food operations purchasing ingredients and supplies for cafeterias, senior centers, and food distribution networks. None of the representative recent opportunities specifically identify dried flame seedless grapes as a line item or product category within their scope.

The issuing bodies pursuing food-service and grocery procurement include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Dallas, Texas; Meriden, Connecticut), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia). Recent solicitations span RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs, with response deadlines ranging from late February 2026 through July 2026, and contract terms typically running one school or fiscal year with options for renewal. Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. The mismatch between this code's discrete product definition and the broad food-procurement notices it receives suggests that state and local procurement offices are either applying the code incorrectly or consolidating multiple commodity codes under a single posting—a common administrative practice that obscures true demand for any single item line. Vendors pursuing work under this code should verify actual specification requirements in source documents rather than rely on the code designation alone.
