UNSPSC 50533620: Dried non GMO grenache grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO grenache 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 50533620 Dried non-GMO Grenache grapes, a Commodity code, nominally addresses a specific dried fruit product, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code reflects no direct demand for dried Grenache grapes. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span broad food-service procurement across school nutrition, institutional dining, and senior meal programs—including fresh produce, packaged meals, grocery items, and meal preparation services. State and local governments use this code as part of larger food-commodity frameworks for child nutrition programs, adult day care, congregate meal services, and summer food initiatives, but the code itself does not isolate a discrete product line that issuers are actively sourcing. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, driven by National School Lunch Program compliance and Buy American provision requirements mandating at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's food service (due June 30, 2026, electronic submission through OpenGov) and Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce across 200-plus line items (due June 26, 2026) represent typical school nutrition purchasing. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB in June 2026 for food and consumables to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million and a September 2026 start date. Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services carries an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million. The code shows little evidence of direct dried-fruit commodity sourcing in these records; buyers are instead using broad grocery and produce frameworks. Firms pursuing this code should treat it as a secondary tag within larger food-service aggregations rather than a primary sourcing signal for specialty dried fruits.
