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 (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains fourteen recent opportunities across school districts, counties, state agencies, and municipalities, none of which names dried non-GMO white seedless grapes or any dried-grape line item. The opportunities span fresh produce procurement (Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, State of Georgia), comprehensive grocery supply (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Meriden Public Schools, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and meal preparation and delivery services (Hillsborough County senior meals, City of Dallas catered events, Pascagoula-Gautier School District packaged meal boxes). While fresh produce and processed fruits appear as contract categories—and raisins or dried fruit products could theoretically nest under commodity codes in the 50530000 range—the specific code for dried non-GMO white seedless grapes generates no matching solicitations in the dataset.

School districts, county boards of education, and state nutrition agencies remain the dominant buyers of dried fruit products when they do procure them, typically as part of broader grocery or produce contracts awarded to food service distributors rather than as standalone line items. The absence of any dried-grape-specific opportunity in the current dataset suggests either minimal recent demand for this commodity at the state and local level, procurement under higher-tier family or class codes that bundle dried fruits with fresh produce or broader grocery supply, or sourcing through established multi-year contracts not currently open for rebidding. Business development activity under this code would require tracking new school nutrition or institutional dining RFPs and monitoring the detailed line-item attachments that often remain inaccessible in summary-level posting.
