UNSPSC 50533458: Dried non GMO muscat grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO muscat 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 50533458 Dried non-GMO muscat grapes is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh and processed food products for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations reveal that this code encompasses specialty and commodity-grade dried fruit items supplied as components within broader grocery, produce, and food service contracts rather than as standalone line items; state and local agencies acquire these products primarily through school nutrition RFPs and IFBs that specify produce and food commodities across multiple categories, with dried grapes appearing as one specification among dozens of fresh and processed items in comprehensive food service procurement packages.

Recent activity shows school districts and state agencies as the dominant issuing bodies. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted a grocery items IFB in June 2026 covering over 1,100 line items for school nutrition; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce in June 2026 with over 200 line items; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited Master Grocery K-12 services in April 2026; Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for comprehensive food products in April 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) sought fresh produce annually in March 2026 with 72 line items; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs in February 2026 with approximately 72 line items across 30 districts. The City of Meriden (Connecticut) on behalf of Meriden Public Schools solicited commercial groceries and USDA Foods in March 2026 with a projected contract value of approximately $3,100,000. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center in June 2026 with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) sought senior meal preparation and delivery in June 2026 with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90. Georgia state procurement posted separate solicitations for food supplies and fresh produce in May and April 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and the Southeast corridor (school districts in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, and Mississippi), with additional activity in Texas. The code shows no standalone dried-grape solicitations; rather, dried or processed fruit items surface as individual line items within master grocery and comprehensive produce contracts where specialty and commodity-grade items compete on unit pricing and sourcing capability within larger food service frameworks.
