UNSPSC 50533643: Dried non GMO primitivo grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO primitivo 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 50533643 Dried non-GMO Primitivo grapes is a Commodity code that nominally targets dried specialty grapes, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent solicitations explicitly requesting this item. The most recent opportunities posted under this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food procurement, but none name dried Primitivo grapes or dried grapes generally as line items or standalone requirements. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 2026 grocery-items solicitation for the Board of Education, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumables RFQ for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB all specify fresh fruits, dried fruits in processed products subject to Buy American domestic-content thresholds, and institutional food-service requirements, but do not isolate dried Primitivo grapes as a procured commodity. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' senior meal preparation and delivery ITB and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District's packaged meal-box procurement similarly show no line-item specificity for this dried-grape variety.

State and local governments purchasing under this code are primarily school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Pascagoula-Gautier), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Georgia), and county boards (Hillsborough County). Geographic activity is concentrated in the South and Mid-Atlantic (Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi) based on recent postings. The code shows little relevant activity aligned with its nominal scope; the mismatch between the dried-Primitivo-grapes commodity description and the broad institutional food-service categories actually being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this specific grape variety is not currently being procured as a distinct line item through state and local channels.
