UNSPSC 50533622: Dried non GMO lagrein grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO lagrein 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 50533622 Dried non GMO lagrein grapes is a Commodity code that captures individual food and beverage items procured by state and local food service operations, though recent activity under this specific code shows limited direct solicitation for dried grapes alone. Instead, state and local governments are buying dried grapes as components within broader grocery, produce, and food-service supply contracts—particularly for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The sourcing bodies include school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county government nutrition departments. Work being solicited ranges from comprehensive grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items (breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, fruits, and vegetables) to fresh and specialty produce catalogs with 200+ items, all subject to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), USDA compliance, nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, and HACCP food-safety protocols.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southern regions, with posted opportunities from Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida between April and June 2026. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an RFP (BNB052266) due June 30, 2026, for grocery items to support the Bridgeport Board of Education's National School Lunch Program, requiring firm pricing, emergency 24-hour backup stock capability, and blind taste testing. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB (HHS0017449) due July 11, 2026, for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB (#SN002-2027) due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits across three school locations.
