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 is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh and processed produce items as components of larger school nutrition, senior meal, and institutional food-service contracts. The recent solicitations show that this code appears in bid packages spanning multiple produce categories—fresh fruits, vegetables, and specialty items—rather than dried grapes specifically. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipal purchasing departments (City of Bridgeport). The sourcing is driven primarily by federal nutrition programs including the National School Lunch Program, Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program, and Adult Care Food Program, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products and firm fixed pricing over annual contract terms.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The Bridgeport Board of Education IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) encompasses over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, fruits, and vegetables with July 2026 contract start; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) solicits fresh produce across 200-plus line items for the 2026–27 school year; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) seeks food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period guideline value of $1.5 million; and the Hillsborough County ITB 26-00289 (due June 25, 2026) awards senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years. All school nutrition contracts require Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance, nutritional labeling, allergen controls, and samples subject to blind testing. Dried grape products, if included, would typically appear as line items within these broader produce schedules rather than as standalone procurements.
