UNSPSC 50533463: Dried non GMO niabell grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO niabell 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 50533463 Dried non GMO niabell grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of dried grapes or grape products. Instead, the postings document broader school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations where grocery items, fresh produce, and meal services are being purchased by school districts, counties, and municipalities across multiple states. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope — the opportunities span comprehensive grocery contracts for K-12 nutrition programs, fresh produce for school cafeterias, and senior meal delivery services, none of which emphasize or isolate dried grape products as a line item. State and local buyers posting under this code are primarily school food authorities (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Mississippi, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county boards of education, a state health and human services commission (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and a county board of county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida). School districts dominate the recent posting volume, reflecting the concentration of nutrition procurement in K-12 education, though institutional food service for senior centers and state-operated facilities also appears.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County school systems), with additional recent solicitations in Virginia (Fairfax County), Connecticut (Meriden), Florida (Hillsborough County), Mississippi (Hancock County, Pascagoula-Gautier), and Texas (Health and Human Services Commission El Paso facility). Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323), due April 27, 2026, seeking grocery supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens for the 2026-27 contract year; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB (BNB052266) for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, due June 30, 2026, with Buy American requirements and firm pricing through June 30, 2027; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items including apples, berries, and vegetables, due June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas, due March 4, 2026. Buyers uniformly require firm fixed pricing, prepaid freight, USDA compliance including Buy American domestic content minimums (typically 51 percent), HACCP food safety plans, nutritional labeling, and delivery to multiple school sites on tight schedules.
