UNSPSC 50533485: Dried non GMO sugarthirteen grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO sugarthirteen 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 50533485 Dried non-GMO sugarthirteen grapes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this classification in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—dried specialty grapes—appears in no recent opportunities; instead, state and local governments are tagging broad food-service and school-nutrition solicitations under this code, covering fresh produce, prepared meals, grocery staples, and consumable supplies for school districts, county health agencies, and senior-meal programs. This mismatch between the code's intended commodity and the purchasing activity it is capturing suggests a classification error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems rather than genuine demand for dried non-GMO sugarthirteen grapes at the state and local level.

Recent opportunities span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), a state agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and a municipal procurement office (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). Geographic activity includes Texas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Connecticut, with no clear concentration. Representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items due June 26, 2026; Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery-item line items supporting the National School Lunch Program, due June 30, 2026. None of these opportunities directly require dried non-GMO sugarthirteen grapes, and the code assignment appears to be a data-management anomaly rather than a market signal for this specific commodity.
