UNSPSC 50533635: Dried non GMO muscat orange grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO muscat orange 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 50533635 Dried non-GMO muscat orange grapes is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The code's nominal scope — specialty dried fruit — appears in none of the recent opportunities posted under this designation. Instead, the opportunities consistently reflect broad food service procurement for schools, senior nutrition programs, and state institutions, spanning fresh produce, complete grocery supplies, meal preparation and delivery, and related food service operations that fall outside the dried-fruit category. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System), county governments and special districts (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Meriden). No recent opportunities reflect procurement of dried non-GMO muscat orange grapes or related specialty dried-fruit products.

This code shows minimal relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity and the actual solicitations posted under it suggests either a classification error or dormant activity in this specific product line. Business development professionals evaluating pursuit under UNSPSC 50533635 should verify whether this code is actively used by state and local buyers and consider whether opportunities posted under this number represent true market demand or administrative misclassification. The activity level and market conditions for dried non-GMO muscat orange grapes in state and local food service contracting cannot be assessed from the available recent-opportunity data.
