UNSPSC 50533652: Dried non GMO semillon grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO semillon 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 50533652 Dried non-GMO Semillon grapes is a Commodity code that represents a single agricultural product line, yet the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect direct purchasing of dried grapes. Instead, the opportunities posted with this classification span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts that encompass broad grocery, fresh produce, and prepared-meal procurement rather than dried grape products specifically. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Meriden, Douglas County, Pascagoula-Gautier, and Fairfax County), a state health and human services commission (Texas HHSC), a county board of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), a city purchasing department (Dallas), the State of Georgia, and other institutional food service buyers. These solicitations reveal a disconnect between the UNSPSC code assignment and the actual procurement scope—none of the posted opportunities name dried grapes or semillon varietals as bid items or line-item specifications.

The geographic footprint spans Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia, with particular concentration in Georgia school districts and multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) spanning 52 school and warehouse locations with an estimated 365-day contract term; Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 02641, due February 25, 2026) valued at approximately $3.1 million for the 2026–2027 school year; Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB 26-00289, due June 25, 2026) with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million; Douglas County School System's main-line food distribution contract (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026) supporting approximately 25,500 students with estimated annual spending near $9 million; and the Texas HHSC procurement for food and consumable products (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) with prior-period spending of $1.5 million. The code shows material activity in institutional food procurement overall, but dried semillon grapes do not appear as a specified product in any recent solicitation reviewed, suggesting either miscoding at the source or minimal demand for this commodity within state and local supply chains.
