UNSPSC 50533491: Dried non GMO superior seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO superior 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 50533491 Dried non-GMO superior seedless grapes, a Commodity code, does not see active recent procurement activity among state and local buyers in the source data. The single code-tagged opportunity in the dataset—City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery bid—does not name dried grapes in its scope; the code appears to be a broad grocery classification tag that does not map to the commodity's specific product scope.

State and local procurement under produce-family codes shows robust activity across fresh produce, eggs, and meal delivery services, with school districts and municipalities across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) are among the repeat buyers pursuing food supply contracts for the 2026–2027 school year. Hillsborough County (Florida) and the City of Dallas pursue larger-scope meal delivery and catering services. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procures for institutional food service at a state-supported living center. These solicitations emphasize Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, nutritional labeling and whole-grain standards, and delivery windows tied to school or facility operating hours. Grapes—fresh or dried—have not appeared in any of the representative recent solicitations posted since January 2026. The code's lack of recent transaction history in state and local procurement suggests either minimal demand for dried grapes specifically, reclassification under broader produce codes, or preference for fresh-grape procurement. Firms pursuing this code should verify current buying patterns directly with school nutrition departments and municipal food service offices rather than rely on this commodity code as an active procurement signal.
