UNSPSC 50533456: Dried non GMO muscadine grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO muscadine 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 50533456 Dried non-GMO muscadine grapes, a Commodity code, has no recent state and local procurement activity. The source records fourteen recent opportunities across school nutrition, senior meal services, and institutional food supply—all tagged to this code—but none of them solicit dried muscadine grapes or any dried grape product. The opportunities instead reflect broad grocery, fresh produce, and meal-delivery procurement spanning school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and municipal governments in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. The code's nominal scope does not align with what is actually being solicited under it.

State and local buyers are using this code to classify comprehensive food-service supply contracts spanning fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and consumables, as well as prepared meal services. Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's solicitation for over 1,100 grocery line items with a July 1, 2026 contract start (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce procurement across three delivery sites (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's cooperative-purchasing RFP for fresh produce and eggs spanning thirty school districts with approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spend (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). If dried muscadine grapes are a line item in any of these buys, the source does not name them explicitly. Vendors pursuing this code should verify that their product is actually being requested in individual solicitations rather than relying on the code classification alone.
