UNSPSC 50533439: Dried non GMO flame tokay grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO flame tokay 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 50533439 Dried non-GMO flame tokay grapes is a Commodity code that covers raisins and dried grape products sold into state and local food service programs, including school nutrition contracts, state institutional food service, county senior meal programs, and school district produce procurement. The code captures a narrow product line within the broader grocery and produce supply chain that feeds public institutions, with recent opportunities showing these items embedded within larger food-service solicitations rather than purchased as standalone line items—raisins typically appear as components of breakfast cereals, baked goods, snack items, or condiments rather than as a primary procurement focus.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), state institutional facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for the El Paso State Supported Living Center), and county governments (Hillsborough County). Geographic activity includes Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery-items bid (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026), which spans over 1,100 line items for National School Lunch Program compliance and includes dried fruits among breakfast and snack components; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products procurement for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026), valued at $1.5 million for the prior period; and the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce contract (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, due June 26, 2026), which specifies over 200 fresh produce line items but does not isolate dried grapes. The code shows low recent standalone activity; dried flame tokay grapes appear as commodity-level line items within larger institutional food-service buys rather than as named contract vehicles, making direct pursuit challenging without bundled fresh or processed produce opportunities.
