UNSPSC 50533472: Dried non GMO red globe grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO red globe 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 50533472 Dried non-GMO red globe grapes (Commodity) does not reflect the active procurement landscape under this code. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show no meaningful buying activity for dried non-GMO red globe grapes specifically; instead, the opportunities posted span broad grocery procurement, fresh produce supply, senior meal services, and school nutrition contracts that name dozens or hundreds of product line items across fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the wide-ranging food-service solicitations suggests these opportunities are either miscoded or use the code as a catch-all placeholder within broader food-service families rather than targeting the specific product this code nominates.

Issuing bodies across recent opportunities include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county commissions and city purchasing offices (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, City of Bridgeport Connecticut Department of Public Purchases, City of Dallas), a state health agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and the State of Georgia. Geographic distribution of recent activity spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery items bid (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services across 1,100+ line items with Buy American requirements; Douglas County School System's February 2026 Food Supply and Distribution RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046, due February 18, 2026) seeking a main-line distributor for approximately $9 million in annual meals across 32 schools; and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits across three school sites. The code shows activity in school nutrition procurement and institutional food service but lacks recent RFQs or RFPs explicitly requesting dried non-GMO red globe grapes as a standalone product line.
