UNSPSC 50533441: Dried non GMO galaxy seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO galaxy 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 50533441 Dried non-GMO galaxy seedless grapes, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent solicitation record shows zero procurement activity for dried grapes of any kind; instead, the code has been assigned to broad fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, meal service, and nutrition program solicitations that encompass dozens or hundreds of product lines spanning fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, proteins, prepared items, and supplies—none focused on or mentioning dried grapes. School districts, county education departments, state nutrition authorities, and municipalities are using this code to tag large, diverse food-service contracts where dried galaxy seedless grapes, if procured at all, represent a minor line item among thousands of others. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought suggests either systematic miscoding or a legacy taxonomy tag that no longer reflects purchasing practice.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia school districts and county education authorities, with significant solicitations also from Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi public schools. Representative opportunities include the Bulloch County Board of Education's comprehensive school nutrition grocery bid (IFB #043025, due May 4, 2026) spanning multiple food categories across 14 school sites; the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covering approximately $5.5 million annually across 30 participating school districts; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce contract (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) for 72 produce line items to 60 school sites; Fairfax County Public Schools' master grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for delivery to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Meriden Public Schools RFP 026-41 (due February 25, 2026) for commercial groceries and USDA foods serving 8,200 students across 13 sites with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3,100,000. These solicitations consistently require Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety certifications, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and compliance with Child Nutrition standards and labeling requirements. If your firm pursues fresh produce, dairy, or broad-line grocery supply to school districts or state nutrition programs, monitor this code's activity, but expect to compete on comprehensive food-service capability rather than specialty dried-fruit sourcing.
