UNSPSC 50533604: Dried non GMO cabernet franc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO cabernet franc 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 50533604 Dried non-GMO Cabernet Franc grapes (Commodity) shows minimal direct relevance to state and local procurement activity based on recent opportunities. The code nominally covers a single specialty agricultural product — dried Cabernet Franc grapes — yet the fourteen recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 reflect broad food procurement across school nutrition programs, senior meals, and institutional food service, with none explicitly naming dried grapes or wine-adjacent commodities as line items. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal purchasing offices dominate the recent activity, soliciting comprehensive grocery supplies, fresh produce, meal delivery services, and prepared foods under RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notice types. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia) each posted grocery or fresh-produce solicitations in the April-June 2026 window; the City of Dallas issued a boxed-meal delivery RFP; Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted a food and consumables IFB for a state-supported living center; and Hillsborough County (Florida) issued an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years. None of these opportunities identified dried specialty grapes as a specification or line item.

The geographic spread covers the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), Mid-Atlantic (Connecticut, Virginia), and Texas, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of volume. The sole opportunity with potential relevance — the City of Bridgeport grocery bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) — encompasses 1,100-plus line items spanning breakfast, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, beverages, and meats, all subject to Buy American domestic-content requirements and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, but no specialty dried-fruit specifications appear in the posted summaries. Similarly, the Douglas County Schools cooperative fresh-produce RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covering 72 line items across apples, berries, leafy greens, and eggs for 30 districts at $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area, and the Meriden Public Schools RFP for groceries, produce, and USDA foods (RFP02641, $3.1 million estimated value) include no indication of dried grapes. Unless a vendor supplies dried specialty agricultural products as part of a broader grocery-distribution agreement with school districts or food service operators, the code shows little actionable recent state and local demand.
