UNSPSC 50523422: Non GMO christmas rose grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO christmas rose 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 50523422 Non GMO christmas rose grapes is a Commodity code that covers fresh fruit procurement, though the recent state and local opportunities under this code show little activity directly targeting the specific product named. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader fresh produce sourcing by schools, park districts, and healthcare entities. The work being solicited includes supply of fresh fruits and vegetables to support school nutrition programs, park concessions, and institutional food service operations, with emphasis on quality, food-safety compliance, delivery reliability, and increasingly on local or regional sourcing and organic options. Issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county park systems (Collier County), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts dominate the recent activity, typically through line-item IFBs or RFBs for produce as part of larger National School Lunch Program or Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program procurements, often bundling produce with dairy, grains, and paper supplies. Many solicitations impose local or regional sourcing preferences, with distances typically capped at 400 miles, and several offer evaluation preference for diverse-owned business vendors.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin. The Hancock County Board of Education IFB (due June 26, 2026) spans over 200 fresh produce line items—apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty fruits—with delivery to three school sites over the 2026-27 fiscal year. The Madison Metropolitan School District RFB for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) projected $78,000 annual value with 70–90 weekly cases at specific ripeness and temperature specifications, while its companion RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks required local sourcing within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison, with a $0.20-per-pound organic produce preference discount. Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables (proposal deadline June 22, 2026) emphasized seasonal variety and farm traceability within 400 miles, with contract award anticipated July 20, 2026. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025) included food and beverage concessions with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points for Collier or Lee County–based businesses. Early County Board of Education's FY27 line-item food bid (due June 8, 2026) encompassed 300+ food items including produce, with emphasis on Buy American provisions and domestic sourcing.
