UNSPSC 50533470: Dried non GMO queen grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO queen 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 50533470 Dried non GMO queen grapes is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food procurement — none of which specifically reference dried grapes or dried fruit commodities. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items, the Hancock County Schools fresh-produce bid covering 200+ produce items, and the Hillsborough County senior meals contract valued at $17.8 million all treat food procurement broadly, but none emphasize dried grapes as a line item. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's El Paso State Supported Living Center bid and the State of Georgia's kitchen products solicitation similarly cast wider nets across food and consumables without specificity to dried-grape sourcing.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Pascagoula-Gautier), state agencies (Texas HHS, Georgia), and county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida). Geographic coverage spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi in the most recent postings. No repeat issuing body appears twice, and no opportunity explicitly names dried non-GMO queen grapes as a procurement item. School districts and state institutions dominate the activity, driven by federal nutrition compliance (National School Lunch Program, Buy American Provision requirements of 51 percent domestic content, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards). The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to dried-grape procurement; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations posted under it suggests either miscoding by issuing offices or use of the code as a catch-all classification for broader food and beverage procurement.
