UNSPSC 50533442: Dried non GMO gamay grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO gamay 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 50533442 Dried non-GMO Gamay grapes is a Commodity code that does not appear in current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code are in fact for broad grocery items, fresh produce, senior meal services, and packaged meal boxes — none of which target dried Gamay grapes specifically. The code's nominal scope (dried specialty wine grapes) does not align with what state and local jurisdictions are actually buying in the accessible recent-opportunities record, which focuses on fresh and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts.

State and local procurement under this code shows little relevant activity. School districts, county health agencies, and boards of education are the primary issuing bodies in the recent record, soliciting grocery staples, fresh produce, and meal preparation services rather than specialty dried grapes. Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, but none of the posted solicitations (Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery IFB, Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB, Hillsborough County senior meals ITB, and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District summer meal boxes) identify dried Gamay grapes or comparable specialty wine ingredients as line items. If this commodity is being purchased by state and local bodies, it is not appearing in the visible solicitation record, suggesting either low procurement volume or misalignment between the code assignment and actual buying patterns.
