UNSPSC 50533640: Dried non GMO pinot blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO pinot blanc 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 50533640 Dried non GMO pinot blanc grapes is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty dried fruit products, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's stated scope. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span grocery staples, fresh produce, prepared meals, and food-service consumables for school districts, county health and human services facilities, and senior nutrition programs—categories that encompass fresh vegetables, fruits, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods rather than dried specialty grapes. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, including Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, and Bridgeport Board of Education, alongside county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Georgia state procurement) and state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). The scope of work being solicited includes multi-thousand-line-item grocery and fresh-produce contracts subject to Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content, National School Lunch Program compliance, nutritional standards, HACCP food-safety plans, and delivery to schools and senior centers on firm pricing with no fuel surcharges.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and regions. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce with 200+ line items and a June 26, 2026 response date; Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited grocery items across 1,100+ line items with a June 30, 2026 deadline; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB for food and consumables supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 response date and a historical value of $1.5 million; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and a June 25, 2026 deadline; the State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date; and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) posted an IFB for packaged meal boxes with an April 29, 2026 deadline. The mismatch between the code's nominal dried-grape category and the actual commodity scope—fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, proteins, and prepared meals—suggests either a classification error in the posting system or minimal genuine demand for dried specialty grapes under state and local procurement channels.
