UNSPSC 50533461: Dried non GMO negria grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO negria 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 50533461 Dried non GMO negria grapes is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific agricultural product, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span a far broader scope of food procurement. State and local governments buying under this code are actually soliciting large-scale grocery supply contracts, fresh produce for school nutrition programs, senior meal preparation and delivery services, and kitchen consumables. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). These are not niche produce vendors but broad food-service and nutrition contractors handling compliance with the National School Lunch Program, Buy American provisions, HACCP requirements, nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and extensive insurance and background-check protocols.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with recent postings from Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking bids on over 1,100 line items of grocery items for school food service (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education requesting bids on fresh produce across 200+ line items including apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026-27 school year (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period (IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026); and Hillsborough County seeking senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year contract value of $17.8 million (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026). All contracts specify firm fixed pricing, prepaid or inclusive freight, delivery to multiple sites within narrow time windows, and mandatory compliance documentation at bid submission.
