UNSPSC 50533495: Dried non GMO white seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO white 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 50533495 Dried non-GMO white seedless grapes is a Commodity code covering raisins and specialty dried fruit products procured by school districts, counties, and state agencies for institutional food service, including school lunch programs, senior meal services, and facility cafeteria operations. State and local governments buy dried grapes under this code as components of breakfast items, snack offerings, and nutrition-compliant meal service — typically as part of broader grocery or fresh produce contracts rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county or state food service authorities managing child nutrition, senior meal programs, and institutional dining.

Recent opportunities show school districts and county governments across the Southeast and South soliciting food and consumable products under related codes that bundle dried fruit with broader produce and grocery categories.
