UNSPSC 50533447: Dried non GMO jubilee grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO jubilee 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 50533447 Dried non-GMO jubilee grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitation block contains no opportunities for dried jubilee grapes or comparable dried-fruit specialty items; instead, state and local buyers are procuring fresh produce, comprehensive grocery assortments, meal delivery services, and packaged foods for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests this Commodity code sees little active state and local procurement demand.

The twelve most recent opportunities span school districts (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Fairfax County, Virginia; Hancock County, Georgia; Bulloch County, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia; Meriden, Connecticut; Douglas County, Georgia), county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and special-purpose districts, with geographic concentration in Georgia and Florida. Representative procurements include the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issuing ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services (due June 25, 2026, estimated value $17.8 million over three years), Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 to 45 schools plus distribution centers (due April 27, 2026), Douglas County School System issuing RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million (due February 18, 2026), and the City of Meriden Purchasing Department issuing RFP 02641 for groceries, produce, and USDA Foods serving 8,200 students across 13 school sites with an anticipated contract value of $3.1 million for 2026–2027 (due February 25, 2026). These procurements center on volume food sourcing, delivery logistics, nutrition compliance, Buy American requirements, and HACCP food-safety standards—none of which map to the niche specialty product represented by the dried-grape Commodity code.
