UNSPSC 50533665: Dried non GMO zinfandel grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO zinfandel 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 50533665 Dried non-GMO zinfandel grapes is a Commodity code that maps nominally to specialty dried fruit products, but the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under this code shows no solicitations for dried zinfandel grapes or related dried fruit items. The opportunities tagged with this code span institutional food procurement — school nutrition programs, senior meal services, state facility food supply, and municipal catering — but none specify dried grapes or raisins in their scope. The Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 grocery bid for over 1,100 food line items across breakfast, frozen products, produce, and condiments; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's facility food supply bid; Hancock County Schools' fresh produce contract; and Fairfax County Public Schools' master grocery K-12 solicitation all represent large-volume, multi-category food procurement where dried zinfandel grapes would be a specialty subset if present at all, yet none of the published opportunity summaries reference dried grapes as a line item. The Commodity code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than an indicator of active procurement demand.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with recent opportunities from 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), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); state agencies including Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the State of Georgia also posted; and county and municipal bodies including Hillsborough County (Florida) and City of Dallas (Texas) issued meal service RFPs. Georgia school districts show the densest recent activity under this code. The geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast — Georgia, Florida, and surrounding states — with secondary activity in the Northeast (Connecticut, Virginia) and Texas. No state or local procurement activity specifically targeting dried non-GMO zinfandel grapes appears in the indexed opportunities as of June 2026.
