UNSPSC 50523415: Non GMO black pearl grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO black pearl 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 50523415 Non GMO black pearl grapes (Commodity) represents fresh produce sourcing by state and local government entities, though the code itself shows minimal direct recent activity — the recent opportunities block does not surface any solicitations specifically for black pearl grapes or this variety. The posted opportunities do reveal the broader fresh produce procurement landscape that this code sits within: school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and county boards of education regularly issue RFQs, ITNs, IFBs, and RFPs for fresh fruits and vegetables to support food service operations, school lunch programs, concession facilities, and institutional nutrition. Vendors serving this space must meet USDA Buy American requirements where applicable, comply with HACCP plans and food-safety certifications, carry commercial general liability insurance typically ranging from $500,000 to $1 million, maintain traceability documentation, and accommodate delivery schedules to multiple institutional locations.

Recent produce solicitations span Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty items for delivery to three school sites, with bids due June 26, 2026.

Bartow County School System (Georgia) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables from vendors within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026, contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options).
