UNSPSC 50533647: Dried non GMO ruby cabernet grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO ruby cabernet 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 50533647 Dried non-GMO ruby cabernet grapes is a Commodity code that names a single product line, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little use for the specific commodity itself. Instead, the code appears in school nutrition, institutional food service, and senior meal programs where it would support dried fruit procurement as part of broader meal component or snack sourcing. State and local governments buying under this code are predominantly school districts and education boards, supplemented by county health and human services agencies managing institutional food service for state-supported living centers and senior meal programs. The work being solicited spans meal preparation and delivery services, fresh and packaged produce procurement, and general food supply sourcing — activities where dried grapes might appear as one line item among hundreds in multi-category food and supply contracts. Typical compliance requirements include Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, nutritional labeling, allergen restrictions (nut-free products), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and vendor liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range per occurrence.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and mid-South. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce with 200 line items spanning multiple fruit and vegetable categories and a June 26, 2026 response deadline, while the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department under IFB BNB052266 with a June 30, 2026 deadline and over 1,100 line items across breakfast, produce, dairy, and snack categories. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 deadline and a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Hillsborough County, Florida Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17,832,659.90 over three years with a June 25, 2026 response date. The State of Georgia and Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Mississippi also posted food and kitchen product solicitations in May and April 2026. The code shows no clear emerging concentration among repeat buyers and spans state education departments, county education boards, municipal school systems, and state health and human services agencies across multiple states.
