UNSPSC 50523421: Non GMO chasselas/golden chasselas grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO chasselas/golden chasselas 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 50523421 Non GMO chasselas/golden chasselas grapes is a Commodity code covering fresh produce supply to state and local institutions, primarily school districts and county parks. The recent opportunities posted under this code show little activity specifically targeting non-GMO chasselas or golden chasselas grapes — the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad fresh-produce procurement spanning apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, melons, and ready-to-eat prepared snacks. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bartow County School System each posting multiple RFBs or RFPs for fresh fruit and vegetable supply during the 2026-2027 school year. Collier County Parks and Recreation and Marion Health Care Coalition also appear as smaller buyers. The work being solicited encompasses weekly or seasonal delivery of fresh produce in bulk case quantities to school food service operations, early-head-start programs, park concession facilities, and healthcare settings, with emphasis on USDA compliance, traceability documentation, local or domestic sourcing where required, and HACCP food-safety certification.

The geographic activity centers on Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District posted RFBs requiring produce sourced within Wisconsin and within 400 miles of Madison (with preference weighting); Hancock County Board of Education in Sparta, Georgia; Bartow County School System and Early County Board of Education in Georgia; and Collier County in Florida each issued solicitations for school-year 2026-2027 supply. Marion Health Care Coalition in an unspecified state posted an abbreviated produce-proposal request due August 21, 2026. Representative opportunities include Hancock County's IFB PE67080NONST2027000000013 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, leafy greens, citrus, melons, specialty fruits) with delivery to three school locations and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks at approximately 5,900 servings weekly from Wisconsin-sourced farms within 400 miles, contract September 1 through November 30, 2026; and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles with bid opening July 6, 2026, and contract award anticipated July 20, 2026. The code shows substantial recent activity in produce supply to K-12 food services but minimal or no bidding activity specifically targeting non-GMO chasselas or golden chasselas grapes.
