UNSPSC 50533642: Dried non GMO pinot noir grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO pinot noir 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 50533642 Dried non-GMO pinot noir grapes (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a single specialty agricultural commodity — dried wine grapes — yet the six most recent opportunities solicited under this code span broad food-service categories spanning fresh produce, packaged meals, grocery items for school lunch programs, institutional meal preparation and delivery, and kitchen supplies. None of the recent postings identify dried pinot noir grapes, wine grapes, or any dried grape products as line items or scope elements. The issuing bodies across these opportunities include 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 a state-supported residential facility (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). The mismatch between the code's specific commodity scope and the generalized food-procurement categories posted under it suggests either systematic miscoding or limited actual procurement demand for the commodity itself under this UNSPSC designation.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Mississippi, with postings spanning June 2026 through mid-April 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 line-item grocery items (due June 30, 2026) supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's National School Lunch Program; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200-plus line items including apples, berries, and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026); and Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years (due June 25, 2026). The code shows little recent activity specifically targeting dried pinot noir grapes or dried wine grape products; the commodity remains unused or misclassified in current state and local procurement patterns.
