UNSPSC 50533503: Dried non GMO dovine grapes

The variety of non GMO raisin grapes known as non GMO dovine 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 50533503 Dried non-GMO dovine grapes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source provides no solicitations specifically requesting dried grapes of any variety, including non-GMO dovine types.

State and local governments buying under food-service UNSPSC codes are actively procuring fresh produce, processed grocery items, and meal-preparation services for school districts, senior nutrition programs, and institutional feeding operations across the South and mid-Atlantic states, but dried fruit procurement at the commodity level is not represented in the records available. School nutrition programs in Bridgeport, Connecticut; Fairfax County, Virginia; Hancock County, Georgia; Bulloch County, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia; and multiple Texas jurisdictions have issued RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, and meal services during the past quarter, yet none of these solicitations cite UNSPSC 50533503 or specify dried grapes as a line item. The broader fresh-produce and grocery codes appear to capture state and local food procurement, while this dried-commodity code sits outside current procurement flows at the state and local level.
