UNSPSC 50533644: Dried non GMO roussanne grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO roussanne 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 50533644 Dried non GMO Roussanne grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for dried grapes—GMO or otherwise. Instead, the code captures broad food and nutrition service procurement across school districts, county governments, and state health agencies, spanning fresh produce, prepared meals, grocery staples, and food service supplies for K–12 lunch programs, senior nutrition initiatives, and institutional food service.

The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county governments (Hillsborough County in Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with documented opportunities in Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative recent solicitations include the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (fresh and frozen produce, dairy, baked goods, snacks, and beverages) with delivery to the central warehouse and school sites, compliance with Buy American and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, root vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits) with a due date of June 26, 2026 and firm pricing through June 30, 2027; and Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated value of $17,832,659.90 over three years, requiring licensed caterers on the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs Caterer List and delivery to 25 dining and senior centers plus home delivery throughout the county.
