UNSPSC 50533496: Dried non GMO zante current grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO zante current 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 50533496 Dried non-GMO Zante current grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity in the recent-opportunities block. The opportunities record solicitations for comprehensive school nutrition grocery supply (spanning 1,100+ line items of breakfast items, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meats), fresh produce contracts (ranging from 72 to 200+ produce line items including apples, berries, leafy greens, and root vegetables), senior meal preparation and delivery services, and bulk meal catering for government events—none of which specifically feature dried currant grapes as a primary or itemized commodity. The opportunities do reference broad produce categories and fresh fruit procurement, but individual dried fruit items like Zante currants are embedded within comprehensive food service sourcing rather than purchased as standalone commodity lines.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent activity. School districts, county boards of education, state procurement offices, and municipal agencies are instead issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for bundled food service supply contracts—Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—across broad product families with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance requirements, and USDA food-safety standards. The geographic spread spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Virginia. If Zante currants are purchased at all within school nutrition or senior meal programs, they are tendered as line items within master grocery or specialty ingredient RFPs rather than as standalone dried-fruit commodities, making direct pursuit of this code likely unproductive without clear signal of standalone specialty-ingredient procurement in your target jurisdictions.
