UNSPSC 50523417: Non GMO bonheur grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO bonheur 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 50523417 Non GMO bonheur grapes is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity in the source records. The code nominally describes a specific grape varietal, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for bonheur grapes or any specialty grape procurement under this code. Instead, the opportunities span fresh produce, fruit and vegetable snacks, and school nutrition food service across multiple school districts and a state agency, with produce categories ranging widely from apples and bananas to berries, leafy greens, peppers, and tomatoes, none of which are identified as bonheur grapes or single-varietal specialty fruit procurements. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, McAllen ISD, and Douglas County) and one state-level procurement (State of Georgia); these solicitations compete for annual food service contracts ranging from $78,000 to estimated multimillion-dollar cooperative purchases, structured as RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs with response dates clustered between late March and late July 2026.

The geographic footprint spans Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts (Hancock, Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn, and Douglas counties). Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for fresh fruit and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (estimated annual budget $600,000), and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas (estimated annual spending $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). The source records indicate no recent state or local procurement activity specifically targeting Non GMO bonheur grapes as a distinct commodity line item.
