UNSPSC 50533469: Dried non GMO princess grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO princess 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 50533469 Dried non-GMO princess grapes (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The six opportunities posted between April and June 2026 span school lunch programs, senior meal services, and institutional food procurement — none of which specifically solicit dried princess grapes or dried fruit products as line items. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery-items solicitation (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) encompasses over 1,100 line items including breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, fruits, and vegetables, but dried grapes are not itemized. Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) specifies over 200 fresh produce line items—apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty items—but does not include dried fruit. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products solicitation (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covers broad NIGP food-service categories at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB2600289, due June 25, 2026, estimated at $17.8 million over three years) focus on prepared meals and catering rather than ingredient procurement.

The recent opportunities reveal substantial activity in institutional food procurement across school districts (Bridgeport and Hancock County in Connecticut and Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), county senior services (Hillsborough County, Florida), and miscellaneous state procurement (Georgia). However, none of these solicitations address dried non-GMO grapes as a discrete commodity. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the issuing-body activity suggests either misclassification at posting or a gap in dried-fruit procurement visibility within state and local channels during this window. Firms pursuing institutional food supply contracts should track the broader fresh and frozen produce, dairy, and prepared-meal codes rather than rely on activity under this dried-grape commodity designation.
