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, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the code's nominal scope. Recent solicitations tagged to this code in fact address broad school nutrition and senior meal services, including fresh produce procurement, packaged meal boxes, and catered meal delivery — not dried muscat grapes specifically. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its stated product line. State and local governments do procure fresh produce, breakfast items, frozen goods, condiments, and prepared meals through school districts, county departments, and state health agencies, but those opportunities are solicited under more granular produce and food-service codes rather than this dried-grape commodity.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity signals either a data-tagging error in the state or local system or obsolete code assignment. The most substantive recent opportunities — the City of Bridgeport's grocery-items IFB for the Board of Education (due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB for 2026-27 (due June 26, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumables at an El Paso facility (due July 13, 2026), and Hillsborough County's senior-meal preparation and delivery ITB valued at $17.8 million over three years (due June 25, 2026) — involve fresh and shelf-stable foods across multiple categories but do not specifically target dried muscat grapes. Bidders pursuing state and local food-procurement work should verify the correct commodity codes for produce and food-service categories before developing responses; this code does not reliably flag relevant opportunities.
