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 under which state and local governments procure fresh produce for food service operations, including school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare facilities, and specialty food vendors. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables—both commodity staples and specialty items—under contracts that emphasize food safety compliance, delivery reliability, local sourcing where specified, and adherence to USDA standards. The actual scope extends well beyond the code's nominal focus to encompass broad fresh-produce procurement for institutional food service, with quality standards, delivery windows, temperature controls, traceability requirements, and HACCP documentation driving vendor selection.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hancock County Board of Education and Bartow County School System in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county government departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), special-purpose health districts (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate recent activity under this code. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, contract value $78,000, bids due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple varieties with delivery to three school sites (bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026), and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concession operations (proposals due March 6, 2025). Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with additional opportunities in Florida and broader state procurement in Georgia.
