UNSPSC 50523409: Non GMO beauty seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO beauty seedless 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 50523409 Non GMO beauty seedless grapes (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The single recent opportunity—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas—plainly falls outside the code's nominal scope for seedless grapes. No state or local solicitations for non-GMO beauty seedless grapes appear in the current market.

The broader procurement activity in the block reflects fresh produce contracting across school nutrition programs and child nutrition initiatives, but that activity is diversified across apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, and mixed fresh fruit and vegetable lines rather than concentrated on seedless grapes. School districts in Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are actively issuing RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for comprehensive fresh produce supplies—including Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) under USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grants; Douglas County School System (Georgia) coordinating a cooperative purchase serving 30 districts with an estimated combined annual spend of $5.5 million; and Austin Independent School District and McAllen Independent School District (Texas) sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables with preference for domestic and locally grown products. These procurements emphasize fill-rate guarantees, HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, and delivery reliability, but none target seedless grapes as a standalone commodity. The code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
