UNSPSC 50523407: Non GMO baresana grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO baresana 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 50523407 Non GMO baresana grapes, a Commodity code, represents a narrow, specialized produce item that state and local governments procure through food-service contracts for schools, parks, and healthcare facilities. The code covers fresh grape procurement meeting non-GMO certification and specific varietal requirements, though recent state and local solicitations do not show direct bids for baresana grapes specifically. Instead, school districts and food-service operators issue RFBs and RFPs for broader fresh produce categories that may include specialty grape varieties alongside apples, berries, melons, and root vegetables as part of comprehensive food-service menus. Issuing bodies include independent 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 Parks and Recreation), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state purchasing offices. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with districts procuring fresh produce for National School Lunch Program and Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program compliance.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) requested bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), with the latter requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System (Georgia) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, proposals due June 22, 2026); Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested food bids covering 300+ items including fresh produce (bids due June 8, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025); and Marion Health Care Coalition (Marion County, Ohio) sought produce proposals (due August 21, 2026). Geographic sourcing preferences and local-vendor or regional-content provisions appear in multiple bids, reflecting school district procurement policy emphasizing domestic agricultural commodities and nearby farm supply chains. The code itself shows no high-volume, commodity-level activity tied directly to baresana grapes; broader fresh-produce RFBs offer the most realistic entry point for vendors with specialty grape product lines.
