UNSPSC 50533455: Dried non GMO marroo seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO marroo seedless 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 50533455 Dried non-GMO marroo seedless grapes is a Commodity code that does not see relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specialized dried-fruit product—appears disconnected from the solicitations tagged with it in state and local systems. Recent opportunities posted under or near this code span broad food-service categories: school nutrition programs procuring fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supplies, and meal preparation services; county and city meal-delivery contracts; and state-level food and consumable products for institutional facilities. None of the recent solicitations identify dried seedless grapes, marroo or otherwise, as a line item or procurement focus. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent code application at issuing offices or that dried specialty fruits fall outside the current volume of state and local demand.

The activity that does exist under related food-service codes reflects heavy procurement from school districts and counties across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with fresh produce, prepared meals, and grocery supply as the dominant categories. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's RFQ for grocery items supporting the Board of Education (due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026). School districts dominate this segment, with procurement offices in Georgia, Virginia, Connecticut, Florida, and Mississippi issuing most notices. Dried specialty fruits do not appear in the itemized scope of any recent posting, making pursuit of this specific code impractical without direct contact to an issuing office to confirm current demand.
