UNSPSC 50533658: Dried non GMO tempranillo grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO tempranillo 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 50533658 Dried non GMO tempranillo grapes is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity available. The posted opportunities span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service procurement across multiple jurisdictions—including Bridgeport, Connecticut; Texas Health and Human Services; Hancock County, Georgia; Hillsborough County, Florida; and numerous school districts in Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi, and Connecticut—but none reference dried tempranillo grapes or specialty wine-related ingredients. The solicitations instead target broad grocery supply (Bridgeport IFB BNB052266, Fairfax County IFB 2000004323, Bulloch County IFB #043025), fresh produce (Hancock County IFB SN002-2027, Savannah-Chatham Bid 26-34, Douglas County RFP SN 26-004), food service and distribution (Douglas County RFP 26-003, Texas Health and Human Services IFB HHS0017449), and meal preparation and delivery (Hillsborough County ITB-26-00289, City of Dallas RFCSP, Meriden RFP 02641).

The code shows little recent activity relevant to dried specialty grape procurement at the state and local level. The posted opportunities indicate that K-12 school districts, county and city purchasing offices, and state health agencies are currently competing for master grocery contracts, fresh-produce supply, institutional food service, and senior nutrition programs—categories far removed from specialty dried-fruit ingredients. If pursuing this code, monitor school district and institutional food-service RFPs for potential specialty-foods line items or value-added ingredient specifications; current activity does not support active targeting of UNSPSC 50533658 opportunities.
