UNSPSC 50533629: Dried non GMO meunier grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO meunier 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 50533629, Dried non-GMO meunier grapes, is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy and names a specific agricultural product variant. State and local governments do not appear to be actively soliciting dried non-GMO meunier grapes as a distinct line item under this code; recent opportunities tagged to it reflect much broader food and nutrition procurement across school districts, counties, and state health agencies. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items solicitation (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, IFB), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products procurement for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, IFB), and Hancock County Schools' fresh produce solicitation (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026, IFB) all span hundreds of line items across multiple produce and grocery categories — apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, dairy, condiments, and snacks — with no explicit mention of dried grape products. None of the recent opportunities name meunier grapes or dried grape products as a specified item, and the code assignment appears misaligned with the actual procurement activity.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities includes Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Texas (HHSC), Georgia (Hancock County Schools and State of Georgia), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District). Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county boards of education, supplemented by state health and human services agencies and county commissioners' offices. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to dried non-GMO meunier grapes; firms pursuing state and local contracts under this Commodity code should verify the actual product specification before responding, as the recent solicitations reflect broader agricultural commodity procurement rather than specialty dried grape products.
