UNSPSC 50533492: Dried non GMO thompson seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO thompson 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 50533492 Dried non GMO Thompson seedless grapes (Commodity) covers raisins and dried grape products procured by school districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal food service operations for meal programs, institutional cafeterias, and congregate dining. State and local governments buy dried grapes as components in broader food service and nutrition contracts, particularly where Buy American domestic agricultural content requirements and whole-grain or nutrition-standards compliance apply. The code sits within large multi-item grocery and food procurement solicitations that span breakfast cereals, baked goods, fresh produce, snacks, and meal components rather than as standalone specialty produce buys.

Recent activity shows school districts and county agencies soliciting across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 RFQ for over 1,100 grocery line items (breakfast cereals, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and snack items) due June 30, 2026, requiring 51% domestic agricultural content and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act compliance; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year with delivery to three school sites; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years. The code shows steady but modest recent posting volume; dried grapes appear as incidental line items within much larger food service contracts rather than as primary procurement drivers.
