UNSPSC 50523402: Non GMO almeria grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO almeria grapes. 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 50523402 Non GMO almeria grapes is a Commodity code that addresses fresh fruit procurement for institutional food service operations, though recent state and local opportunities show that this specific commodity code tags procurement activity that diverges materially from the narrow product scope. State and local jurisdictions are soliciting produce—and fresh fruit specifically—through this code, but the recent opportunities documented focus on mixed fresh fruit and vegetable programs, school nutrition contracts covering dozens of produce line items, and generic produce vendor arrangements rather than almeria grapes as a standalone item. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education) and specialized public health or parks organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition, Collier County Parks and Recreation). School nutrition departments represent the dominant buyer segment, procuring produce for the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Programs across multiple delivery sites within their districts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) released an IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items with a June 26, 2026 bid due date; Bartow County School System (Georgia) posted an RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles with a June 22, 2026 deadline; Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) released two produce RFBs on July 8, 2026 with a July 29 response date, one for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value) and one for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison; and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted bids for 300+ food items including fresh produce on June 8, 2026. A broader produce solicitation from the State of Georgia was posted May 15, 2026 with a June 22 deadline. The code shows no standalone almeria grape opportunities in the recent block; procurement activity centers on mixed-produce contracts where individual fruit items are one component of much larger food-service awards.
