UNSPSC 50533488: Dried non GMO sultana sun red grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO sultana sun red 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 50533488 Dried non-GMO sultana sun-red grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The most recent opportunities solicited under 50533488 are generic school nutrition grocery procurements and senior meal services that span hundreds of line items across breakfast items, produce, dairy, frozen goods, condiments, and meat — not dried grapes or specialized produce categories. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in the state and local procurement system rather than an active commodity category. State and local issuing bodies placing dried grape products into procurement systems typically use broader fresh or processed produce codes; when they do tag individual fruit items, opportunities do not surface in the available recent-opportunity record for this specific code.

Recent procurement activity under broader food codes shows school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, and Douglas County School System), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and city governments (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Dallas, Texas) issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for comprehensive grocery supply, fresh produce, and meal services with response dates spanning February through July 2026. Most procurement occurs in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Virginia, Connecticut, Texas, and Mississippi. School nutrition programs dominate the volume, with contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million to $17.8 million over initial terms. No recent opportunities specifically requesting dried sultana grapes or single-item dried-fruit commodities appear in the state and local record. Vendors pursuing this code should verify actual customer demand through pre-bid contacts rather than assume this Commodity code reflects active procurement.
