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 (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's scope—specialty dried fruit ingredients—does not align with the actual buying pattern under opportunities tagged to this code.

The most recent opportunities nominally coded to 50533647 are instead requesting comprehensive grocery supplies, fresh produce, meal preparation services, and bulk food distribution for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and state facility food operations. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery items (including fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen products, proteins, and condiments) for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services under IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with proposals due July 13, 2026 and historical spending at $1.5 million annually. Hancock County Board of Education requested bids on fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and melons) under IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services under ITB 26-00289 for an estimated $17,832,659.90 over three years, due June 25, 2026. The solicitations originate from school districts, county and state agencies, and municipal purchasing offices across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia.

The mismatch between the commodity code name and the actual procurement scope suggests either miscoding in the source data or that dried specialty grapes are bundled as line items within larger grocery aggregations. If pursuing activity under this code, expect to compete for position on multi-thousand-item master grocery contracts serving school nutrition programs and institutional food service rather than for specialty dried fruit procurement in isolation. Current activity is concentrated in school districts and state health and human services agencies with high-volume, recurring food service demand and firm fixed-price expectations.
