UNSPSC 50533440: Dried non GMO flaming red grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO flaming red 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 50533440 Dried non-GMO flaming red grapes is a Commodity code that does not see meaningful recent state and local procurement activity; the code shows little relevant recent activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code — a City of Bridgeport grocery bid covering 1,100+ line items, a Texas Health and Human Services food and consumable products contract for a state supported living center, a Georgia schools fresh produce bid, a Hillsborough County senior meal delivery contract valued at $17.8 million, and a Mississippi school district packaged meal box solicitation — span broad food and nutrition procurement across school districts, state health agencies, and county governments. None of these opportunities specifically target dried non-GMO grapes or dried fruit as a line item, and the Commodity code's narrow product scope does not align with the general-category nature of the opportunities listed. The sourcing activity is visible and regular across school nutrition programs and state health and human services food procurement, but under broader family-level or class-level food codes rather than this specific commodity designation.

The geographic spread of the recent opportunities spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Connecticut — predominantly in school district nutrition programs tied to federal lunch and breakfast programs and state health service food provisioning. However, these opportunities provide no signal that buyers are seeking dried non-GMO grapes specifically; they reflect general food purchasing aligned with USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, and nutritional standards. A vendor seeking to pursue this Commodity code should clarify whether recent state and local RFPs or RFQs are explicitly calling for dried non-GMO grapes or whether the code assignment reflects a data classification mismatch that does not support direct business development activity.
