UNSPSC 50533460: Dried non GMO napoleon grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO napoleon 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 50533460 Dried non-GMO napoleon grapes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the food procurement activity currently tagged under it in state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities in the block—school lunch program grocery items, state-supported-living-center food service, fresh produce for schools, senior meal delivery, and packaged meal boxes—center on fresh produce, prepared foods, and broad consumable inventories for institutional feeding programs rather than dried grapes of any kind. The issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Pascagoula-Gautier), county and state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Hillsborough County), and state procurement offices (Georgia), reflecting the institutional food-service buyer base. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope; the mismatch between the commodity name and the actual solicitations suggests this code may be applied inconsistently or serve as a catch-all placeholder for food procurement rather than a targeted classification for dried grape products.

The geographic spread includes Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi across the recent opportunities, with school nutrition contracts dominating the mix. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's grocery-items RFQ (BNB052266, response due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items for the Board of Education under National School Lunch Program rules with 51 percent domestic-content Buy American requirements; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products (HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026) with a historical annual value of $1.5 million for the El Paso State Supported Living Center; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, response due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items; and Hillsborough County's senior-meal preparation and delivery services ITB (ITB2600289, response due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years. Firms pursuing this code should verify actual commodity alignment before bid preparation, as the code classification does not consistently match posted work scope.
