UNSPSC 50533634: Dried non GMO muscat of alexandria grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO muscat of alexandria 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 50533634 Dried non-GMO Muscat of Alexandria grapes (Commodity) does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are currently purchasing under this code. Recent solicitations posted under this UNSPSC—including the City of Bridgeport grocery bid, Texas Health and Human Services Commission food and consumables contract, Hancock County Schools fresh produce procurement, Hillsborough County senior meal services, and State of Georgia kitchen products—span broad school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and senior dining across multiple issuing bodies, but none of them specifically reference dried grapes or raisins as line items. The solicitations instead emphasize fresh produce, packaged goods, proteins, dairy, and meal-preparation services for school lunch programs, institutional facilities, and congregate senior dining. The code's nominal scope (dried specialty fruit) bears no clear alignment with the recent opportunities actually tagged to this UNSPSC number.

The recent opportunities show issuing bodies across school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and all emphasize compliance with Buy American provisions, National School Lunch Program standards, HACCP food safety plans, and nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. Geographic distribution spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The most recent representative opportunity is the City of Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 RFQ for over 1,100 grocery items (breakfast, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and snacks) for the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services with 48-hour emergency delivery capability and blind product testing by school personnel. The code shows limited relevance to actual procurement activity; business development professionals should verify whether opportunities under this UNSPSC are consistently mislabeled or whether the code definition requires clarification.
