UNSPSC 50533621: Dried non GMO grenache blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO grenache 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 50533621 Dried non GMO Grenache Blanc grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities solicited under this classification do not reflect procurement of dried grapes. Instead, the code is being applied to broad food and consumables procurement by school districts, county governments, and state agencies — spanning fresh produce, packaged meal boxes, grocery staples, and senior meal services. The actual buying activity shows no match between the code's nominal scope and what is being transacted. School districts appear as repeat buyers, with Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, and Pascagoula-Gautier School District all posting nutrition-related solicitations in the recent window. County and state-level issuing bodies also participate: Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission have posted food service opportunities, and the State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and kitchen products. All opportunities carry Buy American or domestic-content requirements and compliance with federal nutrition programs such as the National School Lunch Program.

The code shows recent activity across the South and Mid-Atlantic regions: Georgia, Texas, Florida, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Georgia dominate the recent-opportunity posting dates. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education (over 1,100 line items, response due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year (response due June 26, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 11, 2026), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years (response due June 25, 2026). The code's assignment to these opportunities suggests a taxonomic mismatch rather than active procurement of dried grapes; business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for specialty agricultural commodities and clarify the actual commodity needed before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
