UNSPSC 50533468: Dried non GMO prima black seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO prima black seedless 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 50533468 Dried non-GMO prima black seedless grapes is a Commodity code that covers dried grape products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service and nutrition programs. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific dried-grape item in isolation; instead, they procure it as a line item within broader grocery, produce, or food-service contracts that support school nutrition programs, senior meal services, state health facilities, and child nutrition initiatives. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county education boards seeking compliance with the National School Lunch Program and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, alongside state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers and senior meal programs. These solicitations typically require vendors to meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), provide nutritional labeling and formulation documentation, and adhere to allergen restrictions and whole-grain requirements. Deliveries are coordinated through centralized warehouse and school-site logistics, with pricing submitted on a firm-fixed basis and payment terms generally running Net 30 to Net 45 days.

Recent procurement activity under this code appears across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB (BNB052266) for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services for the 2026–27 school year. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB (HHS0017449) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce across 200-plus line items under IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for the 2026–27 school year, and Hillsborough County in Florida sought senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years under ITB-26-00289 (due June 25, 2026). The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026). Activity is concentrated in school-district nutrition procurement tied to annual budget cycles and state institutional food-service contracting, with most solicitations clustered in late spring 2026 to support July 1, 2026, contract starts aligned with fiscal-year transitions.
