UNSPSC 50533612: Dried non GMO chenin blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO chenin blanc 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 50533612 Dried non-GMO chenin blanc grapes (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity in the provided opportunities. The recent solicitations tagged to this code reflect broad food and grocery procurement—school nutrition programs, senior meal services, institutional food supply—but none specifically address dried grapes, chenin blanc varieties, or specialty dried fruit line items. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), counties (Hillsborough County), cities (Dallas, Meriden), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). The geographic spread spans Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia.

Recent representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's National School Lunch Program (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) covering 1,100+ line items with Buy American requirements; the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for supply to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for food supply and distribution (SN26-003, due February 18, 2026) serving 25,500 students with estimated annual spend of $9 million. The code shows no recent activity specifically targeting dried fruit commodities or specialty agricultural items. A business development professional should verify whether this code is correctly applied to dried chenin blanc grape opportunities or whether a different commodity code better captures the relevant procurement universe.
