UNSPSC 50533655: Dried non GMO symphony grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO symphony 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 50533655 Dried non-GMO symphony grapes, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single dried-grape product line does not appear as a standalone line item in the recent opportunities reviewed; instead, state and local governments are soliciting comprehensive grocery, produce, and food-service contracts that span hundreds of items across multiple categories—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and prepared meals—with dried specialty items embedded as minor line items within broader food-service procurement.

The recent opportunities span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Douglas County School System), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Meriden). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with fresh produce, grocery, and meal-service contracts posted from April through June 2026. Representative opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh-produce bid 26-34 (due April 23, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026), and Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41 for commercial groceries and USDA Foods (due February 25, 2026, with anticipated award April 24, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi. The code does not currently represent a direct procurement line in state and local solicitations; dried specialty grapes would be pursued only as a minor item within larger grocery or produce contracts that span multiple commodity codes.
