UNSPSC 50533450: Dried non GMO la rochelle grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO la rochelle 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 50533450 Dried non-GMO La Rochelle grapes, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its specific product scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit broad grocery and food service procurement spanning hundreds of line items—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and kitchen supplies—rather than the specialized dried-grape category the code names. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through school districts, county boards of education, municipalities, and state health and human services agencies executing school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The issuing bodies span elementary through high school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county and state food service operations (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia state operations, City of Dallas), and special-purpose nutrition authorities.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic, with notable opportunities from Georgia (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, and statewide procurements), Connecticut (Bridgeport, Meriden), Florida (Hillsborough County), Virginia (Fairfax County), Texas (El Paso state facility and Dallas city), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier), and South Carolina (Hancock County). Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), seeking 76 minimum line items across elementary, middle, and high schools with weekly delivery; Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution serving approximately 32,000 daily meals across 32 schools with estimated annual spend of $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026); Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41 for commercial groceries and USDA Foods serving 8,200 students across 13 sites with anticipated contract value of approximately $3,100,000 (due February 25, 2026); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services with estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 (due June 25, 2026). Most opportunities require Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and compliance with school nutrition standards or senior meal nutrition requirements. Dried grapes appear occasionally as a line item within broader grocery bids rather than as a standalone procurement vehicle.
