UNSPSC 50523404: Non GMO autumn king grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO autumn king 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 50523404 Non GMO autumn king grapes (Commodity) represents fresh produce supplied to school districts, county parks, healthcare facilities, and regional food service operators — though the recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct alignment with the nominal code scope. State and local buyers issue these solicitations as part of broader food-service procurement efforts spanning fresh produce, meal programs, and concession operations. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School nutrition departments dominate the recent activity, soliciting fresh fruits and vegetables for National School Lunch Program and Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program participation, alongside specialized produce requests such as petite bananas and ready-to-eat vegetable snacks. County parks and recreation divisions solicit food-service concessions that include produce supply as part of broader catering contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary representation from Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time), specifying 70–90 weekly cases during school sessions with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 for the September 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 term; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple varieties with delivery to three school sites, bids due June 26, 2026; the Bartow County School System RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, proposals due June 22, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.; and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park, posted October 8, 2026, with proposals due March 6, 2025. State and local procurement under this code does not show targeted solicitation of non-GMO autumn king grapes specifically; the code appears misaligned with the recent opportunities actually being purchased.
