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, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent solicitations tagged under this code—school district grocery, produce, and meal service contracts across Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia—focus on fresh produce, comprehensive grocery assortment, and meal delivery services rather than specialty dried grape products. The Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 grocery bid (BNB052266), Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB, Fairfax County Public Schools' master grocery contract, and Bulloch County Schools' 2026-27 food procurement all specify fresh fruit, vegetables, and related staples; none mention dried grapes or specialty dried fruit items in their published scopes. The Douglas County School System's February 2026 fresh produce RFP for a 30-district cooperative explicitly lists apple varieties, berries, leafy greens, and eggs—again, no dried product lines.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Georgia (multiple school districts and state-level procurement), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, City of Bridgeport), Florida (Hillsborough County), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), indicating broad state and local engagement in fresh-commodity school nutrition and senior meal programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school districts and county boards of education, with secondary activity from state health and human services agencies and municipalities. However, the code shows little to no recent activity for dried non-GMO napoleon grapes specifically; the commodity classification appears misapplied to these procurement records, which reflect procurement of fresh and processed food staples rather than specialty dried fruit products.
