UNSPSC 50533444: Dried non GMO hanepoot or honeypot grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO hanepoot or honeypot 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 50533444 Dried non-GMO hanepoot or honeypot grapes is a Commodity code that sees virtually no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific product scope. The code's narrow focus on a single dried-grape variety does not match the actual food procurement happening across state and local education, nutrition, and institutional food service programs. Recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass broad grocery, produce, and meal-service solicitations that include hundreds of food product lines — but dried specialty grapes, hanepoot or otherwise, do not appear in any of the posted specifications, line-item lists, or scope narratives. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and multiple other issuing bodies are sourcing fresh produce, staple groceries, and prepared meals; none of the posted RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs mention dried specialty grapes as a line item.

The code's tagging appears to reflect a data-classification mismatch rather than genuine procurement demand. Opportunities posted June 2026 through April 2026 span comprehensive food supply contracts (Bridgeport, $3.1 million anticipated value in Meriden Public Schools; Douglas County School System, $9 million for main-line food service) and produce-specific solicitations (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Georgia Department of Education) that detail apples, berries, citrus, root vegetables, melons, and fresh leafy greens — common school nutrition staples under Buy American and Child Nutrition Program requirements — but no vendor specification or price schedule references hanepoot grapes, raisins, or other dried-grape products. Without documented procurement demand or inclusion in recent competitive solicitations, this code presents limited current opportunity for vendors focused on that specific commodity.
