UNSPSC 50533606: Dried non GMO carignane grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO carignane 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 50533606 Dried non-GMO carignane grapes, a Commodity code, sees minimal active state and local procurement. While the code nominally names a specific dried grape varietal, the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried carignane grapes specifically or for dried specialty grapes as a standalone line item.

The recent opportunities in the dataset are tagged to this code but represent broader food service procurement—school nutrition programs soliciting comprehensive grocery and fresh produce for multiple districts and schools, state health and human services facilities ordering food and consumables for congregate and institutional meal programs, senior meal delivery services across county systems, and city-level catering for official events. None of these solicitations emphasize or isolate dried carignane grapes as a distinct commodity to be procured. The code appears to have been applied to generic food supply and nutrition contracts spanning hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and supplies rather than to specialty dried fruit procurement. This mismatch suggests that either the code is rarely used for its literal scope (dried non-GMO carignane grapes as a discreet purchase) or that state and local buyers classify such items under broader fresh-produce or grocery aggregates rather than at the commodity level. Business development professionals evaluating this code should confirm whether opportunities exist outside the sources represented here before committing resources to pursue dried specialty-grape suppliers to state and local nutrition programs.
