UNSPSC 50533611: Dried non GMO chardonnay grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO chardonnay 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 50533611 Dried non-GMO Chardonnay grapes is a Commodity code; however, the recent state and local opportunities block shows no active procurement for this specific product. The code represents a niche agricultural commodity, yet recent solicitations across school districts, county commissioners, state health agencies, and municipal purchasing offices focus on broad grocery and fresh produce categories—fresh apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, eggs, and general meal services—rather than dried wine grapes or specialty dried fruit items. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests dried non-GMO Chardonnay grapes see little current demand in state and local procurement activity.

The recent opportunities block reflects heavy activity in school nutrition procurement across multiple states and issuing bodies, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), the State of Georgia, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), the City of Dallas, and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi). These jurisdictions solicit IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response dates ranging from April through July 2026. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Virginia, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi. The predominant procurement focus is fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, eggs), packaged and frozen grocery items, meal preparation and delivery services, and general food service supplies, not dried specialty fruit or wine grapes. No viable business development signal exists under this code at present.
