UNSPSC 50533504: Dried non GMO fiesta grapes

The variety of non GMO raisin grapes known as non GMO fiesta 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 50533504 Dried non-GMO fiesta grapes (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity captured in the recent-opportunities dataset. The code nominally describes a single specialty dried-fruit product line, yet the most recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad school nutrition, senior meal service, and institutional food supply procurements that span thousands of line items across fresh produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and prepared meals—categories bearing no direct relationship to dried specialty grapes. The mismatch suggests a tagging or classification error rather than genuine activity under this commodity code.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies in the dataset, with secondary activity from state agencies, cities, and special-purpose food-service authorities. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting over 1,100 line items of grocery products for the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education requesting over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools establishing a Master Grocery K-12 term contract for food delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). Geographic spread covers Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. No recent opportunities in the dataset show procurement of dried non-GMO fiesta grapes as a standalone line item or primary scope element, rendering this code inactive for current state and local business development purposes.
