UNSPSC 50533638: Dried non GMO petit verdot grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO petit verdot 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 50533638 Dried non GMO petit verdot grapes is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single dried-grape product line, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not actually procure dried petit verdot grapes or dried grapes of any kind. The Bridgeport Board of Education RFP for grocery items, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for food and consumables at an El Paso State Supported Living Center, the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce, the Hillsborough County senior meal preparation and delivery services ITB, the State of Georgia food and supplies solicitation, and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District bid for packaged meal boxes all address broad food-service and institutional nutrition procurement spanning fresh fruits, vegetables, prepared meals, and general grocery inventory. None of these opportunities specifies dried petit verdot grapes or describes a demand for specialty dried-grape products. The code appears to show a classification mismatch rather than genuine market activity for the product it nominally describes.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with school districts and county health-and-human-services agencies dominating the issuing bodies. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) all posted between April and June 2026. The procurement pattern reflects institutional food-service demand for general commodities and meal-preparation services rather than niche specialty ingredients, and the code's assignment to these opportunities does not align with the Commodity's stated scope. Business development professionals should verify code accuracy with issuing agencies before pursuing; the current tag does not reliably signal opportunities for dried petit verdot grape suppliers.
