UNSPSC 50523412: Non GMO black giant grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO black giant 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 50523412 Non GMO black giant grapes is a Commodity code that captures specialty produce items state and local governments source for food service operations, including school nutrition programs, healthcare facilities, parks concessions, and district-level food procurement. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables as discrete line items within broader food-service contracts and as standalone produce supply agreements. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level food procurement (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the activity, driven by USDA Child Nutrition Program requirements and federal Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding; many district solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain preferences, low-sodium formulations, and local or regional sourcing within specified mileage radii (typically 400 miles).
