UNSPSC 50533663: Dried non GMO viognier grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO viognier 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 50533663 Dried non-GMO viognier grapes, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific product scope. The recent opportunities block contains solicitations for fresh produce, groceries, meal preparation and delivery, and bulk food service across school districts, counties, and state agencies, but none of these records identify dried viognier grapes or dried specialty wine grapes as a line item or procurement target. The code's nominal scope — a single grape varietal in dried form — appears to sit at the far specificity end of what state and local food service procurement typically captures; most school nutrition, institutional feeding, and general grocery contracts specify product categories (dried fruits, fresh produce, beverages, snacks) rather than individual grape cultivars.

The lack of matching activity does not indicate zero demand, but rather signals that dried viognier grapes, if purchased by state and local bodies at all, are likely bundled under broader UNSPSC families covering dried fruits, specialty produce, or condiments rather than coded and solicited at the commodity level. Vendors pursuing state and local food service and nutrition contracts should monitor family-level codes for dried fruit procurement, particularly within school nutrition programs and senior meal services, rather than expect dedicated solicitations for a single varietal.
