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, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations; the code's specific product scope does not match the bulk of opportunities being solicited under related grocery and food-service codes. State and local education and social-service agencies—school districts, county school systems, state health and human services departments, and municipal governments—procure food and consumable products at scale, but recent opportunities target broad grocery categories, fresh produce, meal preparation services, and institutional food supply rather than specialty dried-fruit items such as Meunier grapes. The mix of issuing bodies spans K-12 school districts (Bridgeport, Fairfax County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Meriden, and Pascagoula-Gautier), county commissioners (Hillsborough County), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipal procurement offices (City of Dallas). Buy American provisions mandating 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP food safety planning, and nutritional-standards compliance (Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, Smart Snacks) are standard across school nutrition and institutional food procurement.

Recent opportunities show geographic clustering in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic: Georgia (three separate school-district and state-level solicitations for fresh produce and grocery items), Florida (Hillsborough County senior meal services), Texas (HHSC El Paso), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier). Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (Apr. 27, 2026 response, ~76 items minimum across 45 schools plus distribution centers), Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution RFP (Feb. 18, 2026 response, ~$9 million estimated annual for 32 schools serving 25,500 students), Meriden Public Schools' Commercial & USDA Foods RFP (Feb. 25, 2026 response, ~$3.1 million for 8,200 students across 13 schools), and Hillsborough County's Senior Meals Preparation and Delivery Services ITB (Jun. 25, 2026 response, $17.8 million estimated three-year value). None of these solicitations name dried Meunier grapes or specialty dried-fruit products as line items; the code does not surface actionable pursuit signals in the current opportunity pipeline.
