UNSPSC 50533626: Dried non GMO marsanne grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO marsanne 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 50533626 Dried non GMO marsanne grapes is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty dried grape products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the category name. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code span general grocery procurement for school nutrition programs, consumable food and supplies for state-supported living facilities, fresh produce for school foodservice, senior meal preparation and delivery services, and packaged meal boxes — none of which represent dried marsanne grapes or specialty dried fruit products. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Pascagoula-Gautier), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), and a state procurement office (Georgia). The geographic spread covers Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Mississippi, and other states where school nutrition and aging-services procurement occurs.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items including breakfast cereals, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products for the Board of Education's food service (response due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus fruits for school delivery (response due June 26, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior contract period (response due July 11, 2026); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 (response due June 25, 2026). The code shows minimal recent activity specifically targeting dried fruit or specialty grape products; the tag-to-code mismatch suggests either data alignment issues or incidental inclusion under a broader grocery commodity classification used by procurement systems.
