UNSPSC 50533464: Dried non GMO niagara grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO niagara 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 50533464 Dried non-GMO Niagara grapes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The opportunities posted under this code are broad grocery, fresh produce, and meal-preparation procurements—school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and comprehensive food supply contracts—that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods. Dried Niagara grapes, a specialized commodity, appears as a single item within those much larger food service contracts, not as the primary procurement focus. State and local issuers—school districts, county education systems, municipal purchasing offices, and regional cooperative purchasing consortia—use this code tag for aggregated food procurement, not for single-item agricultural commodities. The solicitations show heavy concentration among school nutrition programs and senior meal services, with issuing bodies including the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, and the State of Georgia and Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic—Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, State of Georgia), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier, Hancock County), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Texas (HHSC)—with additional solicitations in Colorado and nationwide cooperative purchasing. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for the Board of Education with a June 30 response date, requiring 51 percent domestic content under Buy American provisions; Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 covering delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with an April 27 deadline; the Douglas County School System's RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services estimated at $9 million annually, with a February 18, 2026 proposal deadline; and Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years. All require compliance with school nutrition standards, USDA Buy American rules, HACCP food safety plans, and extensive insurance and licensing documentation. Dried Niagara grapes as a standalone procurement does not appear in the recent-opportunities record.
