UNSPSC 50523423: Non GMO concord grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO concord 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 50523423 Non GMO concord grapes (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code designation specifies a single produce item—concord grapes with non-GMO certification—yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for concord grapes, GMO-verified produce, or specialty grape varieties. Instead, the recent records document school district and educational procurement for broad fresh produce categories spanning multiple fruit and vegetable line items, eggs, and beverages, all solicited under produce and food service contracts that typically encompass dozens of commodity SKUs per RFP or IFB. The absence of any recent concord grape–specific opportunity suggests either that this code sees minimal procurement activity in the state and local market, or that state and local agencies tag broader produce solicitations under higher-level family or class codes rather than commodity-tier codes for individual produce items.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and other states are the dominant issuing bodies posting fresh produce solicitations, with notable repeat activity from Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, and other district nutrition programs. These solicitations are predominantly RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs posted between February and July 2026, with response dates clustering in March through July 2026. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks requiring Wisconsin sourcing (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026); and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program to 18 elementary schools (proposals due March 11, 2026, estimated award August 4, 2026). The code itself does not report meaningful recent activity aligned with its specific commodity definition.
