UNSPSC 50533448: Dried non GMO king ruby grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO king ruby 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 50533448 Dried non-GMO king ruby grapes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried grapes or products matching this commodity description. The opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts—predominantly fresh produce, grocery staples, and prepared meals rather than specialty dried fruit items. One solicitation (Bridgeport Board of Education, BNB052266) mentions dried goods as incidental to a broader 1,100-line-item grocery bid, but no standalone or category-specific dried grape procurement appears in the dataset.

State and local food service procurement in the active record focuses on fresh produce, main-line grocery distribution, and complete meal service delivery to school districts, county systems, senior programs, and state facilities. Dried specialty fruits occupy a niche position—if present at all—within omnibus grocery contracts rather than as standalone line items or dedicated solicitations. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi school districts, with the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing multiple food-service RFPs in January and February 2026 totaling approximately $13 million combined, and the Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) RFP 026-41 anticipating $3.1 million for 2026-2027. Opportunities to bid dried non-GMO king ruby grapes as a standalone commodity under this code are not evident in current state and local procurement calendars.
