UNSPSC 50523420: Non GMO catawba grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO catawba 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 50523420 Non GMO catawba grapes is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for catawba grapes or any varietally specific grape products. The single procurement record tagged with this code—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162, posted July 8, 2026, with response due July 29, 2026—solicits petite bananas for school food service, not grapes. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being posted under it suggests either miscoding in the source data or dormancy in state and local demand for this specific commodity.

School districts across the source data are actively procuring fresh produce for child nutrition and Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Programs, but the recent opportunities cite apples, bananas, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables, and mixed produce portfolios—not catawba grapes by name or non-GMO designation. Vendors pursuing state and local food service contracts in Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin should monitor this code for future activity, but current market signals do not support treating it as an active procurement category at this time.
