UNSPSC 50533657: Dried non GMO tannat grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO tannat 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 50533657 Dried non GMO tannat grapes (Commodity) covers specialty dried fruit products, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the commodity's specific scope. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery procurement, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products solicitation, Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce RFQ, Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services, and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District's packaged meal boxes span broad food service categories — breakfast items, fresh vegetables, fruits, frozen goods, condiments, prepared meals — but none specifically target dried non-GMO tannat grapes or dried specialty fruit as a distinct line item. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county government agencies (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners) and state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, State of Georgia), with procurement structured around food service contracts subject to USDA Buy American provisions, school nutrition standards, and HACCP compliance.

Recent opportunities appear concentrated in the Southeast and South (Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi) as of June 2026, with school nutrition programs and senior meal services as the dominant use cases. The City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, Hancock County's fresh produce IFB due June 26, 2026, and Hillsborough County's $17.8 million three-year senior meal delivery contract due June 25, 2026 exemplify the scale and scope of food service procurement in the category. The code shows no recent opportunities specifically soliciting dried tannat grapes or other specialty dried fruit products as standalone commodities; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and current state-local activity suggests limited relevance under this UNSPSC designation for vendors focused on that specialty product line.
