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, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh produce supply contracts where state and local governments purchase fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, parks and recreation concessions, healthcare facilities, and related food-service operations. The recent solicitations show schools and districts as the primary buying segment, with secondary activity from county parks departments and healthcare coalitions. Beyond the nominal code name, state and local buyers are actually procuring broad produce categories — fresh fruits including apples, berries, bananas, melons, and citrus; fresh vegetables including broccoli, carrots, peppers, and leafy greens; and ready-to-eat snack items processed and packaged for immediate consumption. Vendors must meet food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, debarment verification), maintain specified insurance coverage ($500,000 to $1 million depending on issuing body), commit to firm pricing for contract terms ranging from nine months to one year, and often accommodate geographic sourcing preferences or local-vendor scoring advantages. Delivery logistics are tightly managed, with morning delivery windows (5:00–7:00 a.m. typical), temperature control requirements, and strict product freshness and traceability documentation.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Upper Midwest.
