UNSPSC 50533484: Dried non GMO sugarose grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO sugarose 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 50533484 Dried non GMO sugarose grapes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually soliciting under recent contract opportunities. The recent-opportunities block contains no procurement records for dried grapes or raisins of any type; instead, the posted solicitations span comprehensive school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts that encompass fresh produce, frozen items, processed foods, dairy, proteins, and consumables across dozens of line items per solicitation. The code appears misaligned with state and local purchasing activity in this commodity family.

State and local buyers posting under related grocery and produce codes include school districts (Bridgeport Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), municipal governments (City of Dallas, City of Meriden), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia), with most activity concentrated in school nutrition programs. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, supporting the National School Lunch Program with Buy American provisions requiring 51% domestic agricultural ingredients; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200 line items due June 26, 2026, with firm pricing and Monday–Friday delivery to three school sites; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, at approximately $1.5 million historical value; and Meriden Public Schools' RFP for commercial groceries and USDA foods valued at approximately $3.1 million for July 2026 through June 2027, with responses due February 25, 2026. Geographic activity spans Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia, with the densest recent posting concentration in Georgia and school district nutrition procurement across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. No opportunities identified in the source reference dried raisins, non-GMO grapes, or products matching the code's nominal scope.
