UNSPSC 50533654: Dried non GMO st emilion grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO st emilion 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 50533654 Dried non-GMO St. Emilion grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure dried produce and specialty food ingredients through this code as components of broader food-service and nutrition programs, though recent opportunities show the code receives limited direct solicitation; instead, dried grapes and specialty produce appear as line items nested within larger grocery and food-supply contracts issued by school districts, county nutrition departments, and state health agencies. The actual buying under related codes spans fresh and processed produce, packaged meal components, and ancillary food items for school lunch programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations.

Recent activity concentrates in school nutrition procurement across the Southeast and South, with a notable outlier in Texas. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (due June 30, 2026) supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's National School Lunch Program, requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content and delivery to a central warehouse and school sites on a LINQ ordering system. Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026), with delivery to three school locations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Tampa, Florida) solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services under an ITB with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 (due June 25, 2026). The State of Georgia posted a solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026), though the full scope was contained in an attached PDF. No recent opportunities directly name dried or specialty grapes as standalone line items, suggesting the code sees minimal targeted procurement activity at the state and local level.
