UNSPSC 50523301: Non GMO burgundy grapefruits

The variety of non GMO grapefruit known as non GMO burgundy grapefruit. 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 50523301 Non GMO burgundy grapefruits is a Commodity code covering specialty citrus fruit procurement, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with burgundy grapefruit specification and instead reflect a broader fresh produce-sourcing pattern. State and local buyers under this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). The work being solicited spans fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for school nutrition programs, regional parks' food service concessions, healthcare foodservice, and general institutional procurement. School districts dominate the recent activity, typically issuing IFBs or RFBs for weekly or annual produce supply at fixed weekly or annual volumes with firm pricing and multi-location delivery requirements. Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park and its concession facilities represents parks-sector procurement, while Marion Health Care Coalition's produce RFQ signals healthcare institutional demand.

Recent solicitations cluster in Georgia and Wisconsin. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for over 200 fresh produce line items—including citrus, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and specialty items—for July 2026 through June 2027, with bids due June 26, 2026. Bartow County School System (Georgia) posted RFP 10-2026-019 in May 2026 seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026, and award anticipated July 20, 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFB 4162 in July 2026 for petite bananas at 70–90 cases weekly, annual contract value $78,000, bids due July 29, 2026, and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (approximately 5,900 servings weekly) sourced within 400 miles and within Wisconsin, also due July 29, 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted FY27 food bids in May 2026 covering 300+ food items with bids due June 8, 2026. School nutrition programs emphasize Buy American provisions (where applicable), HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, local or regional sourcing preferences where specified, and firm pricing with no separate fuel charges. Geographic preference and locational sourcing requirements appear increasingly common, particularly in Georgia and Wisconsin solicitations.
