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 names a single specialty dried fruit product, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent opportunities. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for dried queen grapes or any dried grape varieties. School districts, counties, and state agencies across the opportunities listed are procuring fresh produce, comprehensive grocery items, fresh fruits and vegetables, and meal services—fresh apples, berries, leafy greens, citrus fruits, potatoes, and eggs dominate the fresh produce contracts—but dried specialty grape products do not appear in any of the recent state and local solicitations captured.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the procurement activity in the source suggests that UNSPSC 50533470 either sees minimal adoption in state and local purchasing, or that procurement offices classify dried grape purchases under broader commodity codes such as dried fruit families rather than this specific variety-level code. School nutrition directors and food service procurement teams in Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Florida, Mississippi, and Virginia are actively sourcing fresh produce and comprehensive grocery supplies on monthly and annual cycles, but none of the recent opportunities name dried grapes as a line item. Firms pursuing work in state and local food service should monitor broader dried fruit and specialty food codes and fresh produce families where purchasing volume concentrates, rather than expect regular competition under this narrow dried-grape commodity designation.
