UNSPSC 50533457: Dried non GMO muscat flame grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO muscat flame 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 50533457 Dried non-GMO Muscat flame grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this taxonomy entry. The most recent opportunities solicited under the code span broad food-service categories — school breakfast and lunch program grocery items, fresh produce, senior meal preparation and delivery, and packaged meal boxes — but none specifically reference dried grapes, Muscat or otherwise, nor do they show purchasing patterns for specialty dried fruit commodities at the state and local level.

The opportunities that do appear under this code reflect general food-service procurement across school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal governments. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) posted an IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items to support the Bridgeport Board of Education's food and nutrition services, due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year, due June 26, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026; and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) posted a bid for packaged 7-day meal boxes for the summer food service program, due April 29, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity specific to dried grape procurement or other specialty dried fruit items at the state and local level.
