UNSPSC 50533490: Dried non GMO sunset grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO sunset 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 50533490 Dried non-GMO sunset grapes is a Commodity code that addresses a narrow product category with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to this specific dried fruit item. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food procurement across multiple states, but none of the solicitations name dried sunset grapes as a line item or explicitly solicit the commodity. The Bridgeport Board of Education grocery bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) and the Douglas County School System fresh produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) represent the largest school-district food procurements in the dataset, but these focus on fresh produce, eggs, and general grocery categories rather than specialty dried fruits. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission bid for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026) covers food and consumable products broadly but does not itemize dried grapes. Issuing bodies across the dataset include school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Fairfax County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Meriden, Douglas County, and Pascagoula-Gautier), county commissions (Hillsborough County), state agencies (Georgia, Texas), and independent municipalities (Dallas, Meriden), reflecting typical school nutrition and senior services procurement patterns.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast—Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Texas—with secondary activity in Virginia. Recent opportunities show school districts as repeat buyers: Douglas County School System issued two major food procurement RFPs (SN 26-003 for $9 million in food supply and distribution, and SN 26-004 for approximately $5.5 million in fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts via cooperative), Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham and Bulloch County school systems each issued fresh produce and grocery bids in the March–May 2026 timeframe. The code shows no direct alignment to dried sunset grapes as a solicited item; state and local buyers in this dataset prioritize fresh produce, processed foods, proteins, and general grocery staples for school meals and senior nutrition programs. Vendors targeting this code should note that specialty dried fruits are not prominent in recent state and local nutrition procurement and may represent a niche or bundled offering within larger commodity contracts rather than a standalone line of business.
