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, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The one opportunity posted during the indexed period (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, June 2026) was tagged with this code but actually solicits grocery items for school nutrition — fresh produce, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, beverages, and meat products for the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services, not dried specialty wine grapes. The sourcing universe under this code shows little to no activity for the commodity's nominal scope. State and local governments do purchase fresh produce, processed foods, and bulk grocery items for school meal programs, senior nutrition services, and institutional dining at substantial volume and frequency, but this activity clusters under broader fresh-produce and general-grocery codes rather than under a dried-grape commodity classification.

The misalignment between the code's definition and the indexed recent opportunities suggests limited or residual activity in this specific commodity classification. Specialized agricultural products like dried wine grapes target niche procurement channels — typically vineyard supply chains, specialty food distributors, or direct agricultural purchases — rather than the RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB workflows characteristic of state and local school districts, county nutrition programs, and municipal food-service bodies. School districts and county agencies posting under general grocery or produce families (as shown in the Hancock County Schools fresh-produce IFB, Bulloch County grocery procurement, Savannah-Chatham produce bid, and Douglas County fresh-produce cooperative buying) consistently specify domestic agricultural sourcing, USDA compliance, and commodity-level detail across dozens of line items, but none reference dried specialty grapes. Unless the indexed opportunities are systematically mis-tagged, this code appears inactive for current state and local procurement purposes.
