UNSPSC 50523425: Non GMO crimson seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO crimson 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 50523425 Non GMO crimson seedless grapes is a Commodity code that spans fresh fruit procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity. School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida are soliciting fresh produce under this code, but the opportunities document petite bananas, apples, carrots, broccoli, berries, leafy greens, and other staple produce items rather than crimson seedless grapes specifically. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all for fresh fruit and produce line-item contracting at the school nutrition level, suggesting either taxonomy drift or vendor miscoding in the requisition process. When coded correctly, UNSPSC 50523425 would address specialty fruit procurement; however, the recent activity block shows no solicitations explicitly requesting crimson seedless grapes or other specialty seedless grape varieties.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix—Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System all posted produce bids between February and July 2026. Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Hancock, Bartow, Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn, Douglas Counties), with secondary activity in Texas (McAllen, Austin) and Florida (Hillsborough County). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, specifying 70–90 weekly cases at an estimated annual contract value of $78,000; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens) with bids due June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code shows active school nutrition procurement but not for the specialty crimson seedless grape line item nominally described.
