UNSPSC 50533481: Dried non GMO ruby seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO ruby seedless 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 50533481 Dried non-GMO ruby seedless grapes (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — specialty dried fruit products — diverges sharply from what state and local buyers are actually soliciting under related food-service codes. Recent opportunities tagged to this and neighboring commodity codes reflect active demand for fresh produce, bulk grocery supply, and meal-service contracting across school districts, counties, and municipal agencies, but dried specialty fruits do not feature in these solicitations.

The recent-opportunity block shows substantial procurement volume in fresh produce and comprehensive food-service supply across Georgia school systems, Florida and Connecticut school districts, and other jurisdictions. The Douglas County School System in Georgia is soliciting fresh produce and eggs (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) and food supply and distribution services (RFP SN 26-003, due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual expenditures of approximately $4.4 million and $9 million respectively. Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia is seeking a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering weekly delivery to 45 schools plus distribution facilities. The Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia issued a comprehensive school nutrition grocery bid (IFB #043025, due May 4, 2026) spanning food items, equipment, and paper products across 14 school sites. Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut is procuring commercial groceries, beverages, produce, and USDA Foods (RFP 02641, due February 25, 2026) with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3.1 million. These opportunities emphasize fresh items, staples, and bulk supplies — not dried specialty products. Solicitations for dried non-GMO grapes specifically do not appear in the recent-opportunity dataset, signaling minimal or no current state and local procurement activity under this commodity code.
