UNSPSC 50523424: Non GMO concord seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO concord seedless 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 50523424 Non GMO concord seedless grapes is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty grape varieties; however, the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for grapes matching the code's specific product description and instead contains 15 school nutrition procurements for general fresh produce categories including bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, eggs, and beverages. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope (a single seedless grape variety) and the actual buying activity suggests this code sees minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. School districts and school nutrition programs are the primary issuing bodies across the recent opportunities, and they are sourcing broad fresh produce portfolios—not individual specialty grape lines—typically through RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs with annual contract terms.

The geographic concentration of recent activity is in Georgia, with school districts in Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and Douglas County posting fresh produce solicitations between February and July 2026. Additional activity appears in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Texas (McAllen and Austin Independent School Districts), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District). Representative opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a July 1, 2026 contract start (bids due June 26, 2026), the Bulloch County School District's RFP for 24 locally grown produce items with a July 1, 2026 start (proposals due May 4, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 72 produce line items for 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (proposals due March 4, 2026). If your firm pursues grape supply, verify that school district procurements under this code actually accept single-variety or specialty grape bids rather than treat grapes as commodity items within broader fresh produce awards.
