UNSPSC 50523411: Non GMO black emerald grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO black emerald 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 50523411 Non GMO black emerald grapes is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code predominantly solicit fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs but do not specifically request black emerald grapes or grapes of any variety except in passing references. Madison Metropolitan School District posted RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026), neither of which targets grapes. Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce via IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) encompassing over 200 line items including multiple apple and berry varieties but no grapes. The broader produce landscape shows school districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas issuing RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive fresh-produce supply, yet grape procurement appears either bundled into generalized fresh-fruit categories or sourced through separate vegetable commodity codes. The mismatch between the Commodity code's specificity and actual solicitation patterns suggests that grape purchasing—if it occurs in state and local procurement—either falls under broader produce aggregation codes or remains too niche to generate dedicated single-item solicitations.

State and local issuing bodies acquiring fresh produce under related codes are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Douglas County, Hillsborough County, Early County, and Bartow County), with one state-level solicitation from Georgia. Opportunities cluster in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Texas, with activity spanning February through July 2026. School nutrition programs dominate the buyer profile, typically issuing annual fixed-price contracts (IFBs and RFPs) with July 1 start dates and recurring multi-year renewal options. No opportunities in the recent block specifically request grapes as a line item or demonstrate demand for non-GMO black emerald grapes as a distinct commodity. Prospective vendors should verify whether grape supply fits within broader fresh-produce framework agreements or requires separate commodity-code positioning.
