UNSPSC 50533476: Dried non GMO ribier grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO ribier 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 50533476 Dried non-GMO Ribier grapes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single produce item — dried Ribier grapes without genetic modification — yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations requesting this specific product or any dried grape products under this code.

The opportunities tagged with UNSPSC 50533476 span fresh produce procurement, school nutrition grocery supply, senior meal services, and packaged meal delivery across multiple states and jurisdiction types. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Meriden Public Schools), county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, City of Dallas, City of Meriden). Activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, State of Georgia), Florida (Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Bridgeport, Meriden), Virginia (Fairfax County), Texas (El Paso, Dallas), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier, Hancock County), and scattered elsewhere. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) for grocery supply to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41 for commercial groceries, beverages, and produce to 13 school sites with estimated contract value of $3.1 million (due February 25, 2026); and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh-produce bid for 72 produce items across 60 schools (due April 23, 2026). All identified opportunities target mainstream fresh and processed foods for school nutrition, senior meal programs, and municipal catering — not specialty dried fruits. The code assignment appears to be a mislabeling artifact; no sourcing activity for dried non-GMO Ribier grapes occurs in the dataset.
