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, a Commodity code, sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope targets a specialized agricultural product—dried canner grapes suitable for bulk food service use—but the most recent state and local opportunities indexed under this code do not clearly reflect demand for it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span comprehensive grocery and food-service procurement by school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, cities, and senior-services authorities, but the representative opportunities describe fresh produce contracts, boxed meal delivery, comprehensive food supply distribution, and cafeteria staples rather than dried grapes specifically. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Solicitation BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) solicited over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) sought food and consumable products for a state-supported living center; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) procured 72 fresh produce items—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and prepared salads—but none highlight dried canner grapes as a line item.

Issuing bodies span state departments (Georgia, Texas), county school systems (Hancock County and Bulloch County in Georgia; Douglas County in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), municipal school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut; Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), counties (Hillsborough County, Florida), and cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Dallas, Texas). The geographic footprint of recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas. The absence of dried-grape line items across these diverse school nutrition and food-service contracts—which collectively specify hundreds of produce SKUs, frozen items, proteins, dairy, and processed foods—suggests minimal near-term demand within state and local procurement for this specific commodity. Vendors pursuing this code should verify current scope alignment before investing in pursuit infrastructure.
