UNSPSC 50533650: Dried non GMO sauvignon blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO sauvignon blanc 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 50533650 Dried non GMO sauvignon blanc grapes is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source records fourteen recent school nutrition, senior meals, and institutional food service solicitations across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia—all naming fresh produce, grocery staples, proteins, dairy, prepared meals, and related items as the actual goods being bought—but none identify dried sauvignon blanc grapes or any dried wine-related agricultural commodity as a line item or scope element. The code's nominal classification does not align with what state and local procurement offices are actually purchasing under food service contracts in the current market.

The mismatch reflects the structure of institutional food procurement: school districts, county nutrition programs, senior meal providers, and state purchasing offices buy fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), proteins, dairy, grains, frozen items, and prepared foods in bulk for congregate and home-delivered meal services, not specialty dried fruit commodities. Neither the volume, frequency, nor character of solicitations in the source—which includes K-12 nutrition contracts from Fairfax County Public Schools ($3.1 million estimated value over one year), Bulloch County Board of Education, Douglas County School System (approximately $9 million annual for main-line distribution), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Hillsborough County senior meals (estimated $17.8 million over three years), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the City of Bridgeport—support procurement activity under this code. No business development activity is warranted under this UNSPSC classification based on current state and local buying patterns.
