UNSPSC 50533627: Dried non GMO mataro grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO mataro 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 50533627 Dried non-GMO mataro grapes is a Commodity code that covers specialty dried fruit items for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and senior meal operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing dried grapes and similar specialty dried fruits as ingredients or menu components for child nutrition programs, senior congregate meal service, state-supported living centers, and institutional food operations. The issuing bodies are school districts (including boards of education), county boards of commissioners managing senior services, and state health and human services agencies. Recent opportunities show that dried fruit is typically bundled within larger grocery, produce, and consumable food solicitations rather than as standalone line items, reflecting its role as a component ingredient in standardized meal service rather than a primary procurement focus.

Recent activity appears limited under this specific commodity code. The most recent solicitations in the dataset — City of Bridgeport (BNB052266, June 30, 2026, RFQ for over 1,100 grocery line items including fruits); Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017449, July 13, 2026, IFB for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center); Hancock County Board of Education (PE67080NONST2027000000013, June 26, 2026, IFB for fresh produce across 200+ items); Hillsborough County (ITB2600289, June 25, 2026, senior meal preparation and delivery); State of Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009, June 22, 2026, food and kitchen supplies); and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (3170035565, April 29, 2026, packaged meal boxes) — emphasize fresh produce, processed grocery items, and complete meal services rather than dried specialty fruits. The code shows minimal standalone procurement activity; pursuit is best evaluated within larger institutional food-service RFPs where dried grapes may appear as one line item among hundreds.
