UNSPSC 50533501: Dried non GMO black corinth grapes

The variety of non GMO raisin grapes known as non GMO black corinth 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 50533501 Dried non GMO black corinth grapes (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged with this code—Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items solicitation (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026)—spans over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, and meat products for the National School Lunch Program, with no specific mention of dried corinth grapes or comparable specialty dried fruit. The mismatch suggests either misclassification at posting or that this Commodity code does not align with how state and local governments currently tag their food service procurements.

Recent opportunities at the Family level (dried fruits, nuts, seeds, and related products) center instead on fresh produce, bulk grocery staples, and meal preparation services across school districts and public agencies. School nutrition programs in Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Texas are actively procuring fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared meal services through IFBs and RFPs, but dried specialty produce items do not surface as standalone line items or distinct procurement categories in the current block. Absent evidence of active demand for dried non-GMO black corinth grapes as a line-item commodity under this code, sellers should focus business development efforts on broader fresh-produce and bulk-grocery categories where documented state and local procurement activity is substantive.
