UNSPSC 50533502: Dried non GMO canner grapes

The variety of non GMO raisin grapes known as non GMO canner 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 50533502 Dried non-GMO canner grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no solicitations for dried grapes or raisins. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code span broad grocery and food service procurement — fresh produce, prepared meals, institutional food supply contracts, and nutrition program provisioning across school districts, county governments, state agencies, and municipal purchasing offices. The actual buying activity does not align with the code's nominal scope.

Recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking bids on over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB posted June 30, 2026, due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical annual value of $1.5 million (IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education seeking fresh produce across over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year (IFB due June 26, 2026); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners requesting senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17,832,659.90 over three years (ITB due June 25, 2026); the State of Georgia requesting food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026); and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi seeking packaged 7-day meal boxes for the Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program (due April 29, 2026). The code shows activity across Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Texas, but the mismatch between the code name and the buying activity suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to these opportunities. Verify code assignment with the issuing jurisdictions before pursuing.
