UNSPSC 50533600: Dried non GMO wine grapes

The type of non GMO grape known as non GMO wine 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 50533600 Dried non-GMO wine grapes is a Class code that does not align with current state and local procurement activity. The source provides no recent solicitations explicitly requesting dried wine grapes; instead, the tagged opportunities span fresh produce procurement (apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus fruits, leafy greens), comprehensive grocery supply including processed and shelf-stable items, boxed meal delivery services, and food service distribution contracts serving school districts, senior nutrition programs, and state facilities. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or minimal recent state and local demand for this commodity under this specific code.

The recent opportunities in the source block document active procurement across school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County Schools, Hancock County Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier Schools), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), city purchasing departments (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Dallas, Texas; Meriden, Connecticut), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission, Georgia), and special-purpose cooperative buying groups (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). These buyers procure fresh produce, boxed grocery items, meal preparation and delivery services, and food distribution through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices with response dates spanning February through July 2026. The geographic concentration includes Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. No sourcing activity appears linked to dried wine grapes as a procurement category in any of these solicitations.
