UNSPSC 50533443: Dried non GMO gold grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO gold 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 50533443 Dried non-GMO gold grapes, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct procurement activity among state and local buyers. The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried grapes; instead, opportunities tagged to this code span much broader food and meal-service categories—school nutrition programs procuring comprehensive grocery assortments, fresh produce, and meal preparation services; state-supported living centers sourcing food and consumables; and county and municipal meal-delivery programs. These solicitations treat dried fruit as an incidental line item within larger food procurement baskets rather than as a standalone product line.

State and local procurement under this code is dominated by school districts and county education agencies, with secondary activity from state health and human services operations and municipal meal services. Issuing bodies include Fairfax County Public Schools and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut); school districts in Georgia (Bulloch County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), and Florida (Hillsborough County); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission; and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) and City of Dallas. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and the southeastern United States, with secondary activity in the Mid-Atlantic and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) seeking grocery supply and delivery to 45 schools and distribution facilities; Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 02641, due February 25, 2026) with anticipated value near $3.1 million; and Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026) supporting approximately 32,000 daily meals across 32 schools with estimated annual spend around $9 million. None of these solicitations isolates dried grapes as a contract focus or standalone line item, limiting the code's utility as a procurement targeting mechanism.
