UNSPSC 50523302: Non GMO duncan grapefruits

The variety of non GMO grapefruit known as non GMO duncan 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 50523302 Non GMO duncan grapefruits is a Commodity code representing fresh citrus fruit procured by state and local governments for institutional food service operations, school nutrition programs, and regional park concessions. The recent opportunities under this code show that state and local buyers are sourcing fresh produce—including grapefruits as part of broader fruit-and-vegetable contracts—primarily through school districts and county parks departments. The work involves line-item produce procurement with firm pricing, compliance with HACCP food safety plans, temperature-controlled delivery, and contractual guarantees on freshness and product quality. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county parks and recreation divisions, and county school systems, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer segment. Many of these procurements emphasize domestic sourcing, seasonal local sourcing within geographic radii (typically 400 miles), and compliance with USDA food programs and Buy American provisions.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin, with recent solicitations from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 and weekly usage of 70–90 cases), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including citrus fruits (due June 26, 2026, for the 2026–27 school year), and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026). The State of Georgia also issued a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026) that includes produce. Contracts typically run a full school or fiscal year with optional renewal terms, require multiple delivery locations, and impose strict food safety documentation and insurance requirements.
