UNSPSC 50533656: Dried non GMO syrah grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO syrah 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 50533656 Dried non-GMO syrah grapes, a Commodity code, sees no recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span breakfast items, cereals, fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, condiments, beverages, and meal preparation and delivery services—none of which involve dried or processed grapes of any varietal. The code classification and actual solicitation scope do not align; the tagged opportunities pursue broad grocery supply, food service distribution, and meal delivery contracts rather than specialty dried fruit ingredients.

School districts, county boards of education, and city purchasing departments on behalf of school nutrition programs dominate the recent issuing bodies, supplemented by state health and human services agencies and county commissioners' offices. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the State of Georgia and Texas Health and Human Services Commission all posted opportunities between January and June 2026. Geography clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, and Florida, with additional activity in Mississippi and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (1,100 line items across breakfast items, condiments, vegetables, dairy, and meats, due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce (200 line items including apples, berries, vegetables, and citrus, due June 26, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools (minimum 76 items, due April 27, 2026); and Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for food supply and distribution across 32 schools serving 25,500 students with estimated annual spend of $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026).
