UNSPSC 50533625: Dried non GMO malvasia bianca grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO malvasia bianca 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 50533625 Dried non-GMO malvasia bianca grapes is a Commodity code that nominally names a single dried-grape product, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect dried-grape procurement. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad-based school and institutional food service procurement spanning fresh produce, prepared meals, breakfast and lunch items, snacks, beverages, dairy, and consumables. State and local governments use this code to tag multi-category food and nutrition contracts for school districts, county health and human services facilities, senior meal programs, and central purchasing offices. 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 government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items), obtain state health inspections, maintain HACCP plans and food-safety certifications, provide nutritional analyses and product labeling, carry substantial commercial general liability and products liability insurance, and accept blind testing and quality assurance protocols. Delivery consolidates to central warehouses and designated sites on standard pallets with Monday-through-Friday scheduling, and contracts typically run a full fiscal or school year with optional renewals.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida, with school districts accounting for the plurality of recent opportunities. The City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (solicitation BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning more than 200 line items (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) exemplify typical school nutrition scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) carried historical volume of $1.5 million annually. Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery (ITB2600289, due June 25, 2026) represents the largest recent contract, with estimated value of $17,832,659.90 over three years and mandatory caterer licensing on the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs program list. The code shows consistent quarterly activity but no concentration in a single jurisdiction; opportunities emerge from independent school districts and county purchasing offices independently rather than through cooperative vehicles.
