UNSPSC 50533618: Dried non GMO gamay beaujolais grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO gamay beaujolais 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 50533618 Dried non-GMO Gamay Beaujolais grapes, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specific wine-region grape product, but the available recent opportunities under this classification span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply chains that purchase fresh produce, groceries, and prepared foods—not specialty dried grapes. The issuing bodies active in the recent opportunities include school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Fairfax County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Meriden, Douglas County, and Pascagoula-Gautier), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and a municipal government (City of Dallas). The mismatch between the code's commodity name and the actual procurements suggests this code is either incorrectly tagged on the recent opportunities, or dried Gamay Beaujolais grapes are not a material purchase category in current state and local contracting.

The geographic spread of the recent opportunities spans the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Mississippi), Mid-Atlantic (Connecticut, Virginia), and Southwest (Texas), with school nutrition procurement concentrated in Georgia and across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery items solicitation (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) supporting the Board of Education's food service with over 1,100 line items across breakfast, produce, dairy, and meat products; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products procurement (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center at an estimated $1.5 million for the prior period; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty produce; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB2600289, due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum 76-item bidding across 52 school and warehouse locations. None of these procurements reference dried wine grapes or specialty beverages, indicating this code does not capture active state and local buying patterns in food service or institutional nutrition.
