UNSPSC 50523405: Non GMO autumn royal grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO autumn royal 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 50523405 Non GMO autumn royal grapes is a Commodity code that covers fresh fruit procurement by state and local governments, though recent activity under this code shows limited solicitations specifically naming autumn royal grapes or even grapes generally. Instead, state and local buyers are soliciting fresh produce more broadly—including apples, berries, citrus, melons, leafy greens, and prepared fruit and vegetable snacks—through school nutrition programs, county parks food services, healthcare coalitions, and regional education boards. The work entails sourcing, quality certification, timely delivery, compliance with food-safety and traceability standards, and often adherence to locational sourcing preferences or organic certification. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county park and recreation departments (Collier County), healthcare organizations (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agriculture or nutrition programs (State of Georgia). School districts appear as the dominant repeat buyer, with five of seven recent opportunities coming from school nutrition departments seeking produce for student meal programs.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County school boards) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with additional activity in Florida (Collier County) and broader state-level procurement (State of Georgia). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, annual contract value estimated at $78,000 for 70–90 cases per week) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and delivered ready-to-eat (due July 29, 2026, approximately 5,900 servings weekly for elementary students). Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple varieties (due June 26, 2026, contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), and Bartow County School System sought local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (proposal due June 22, 2026, contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options). These opportunities emphasize cost control, domestic and local sourcing preferences, HACCP compliance, traceability documentation, and delivery logistics to school warehouse or park concession locations.
