UNSPSC 50523428: Non GMO early muscat grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO early muscat 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 50523428 Non-GMO early muscat grapes (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's name specifies a single grape varietal with organic certification requirements, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for muscat grapes—non-GMO or otherwise. The ten opportunities posted between February and July 2026 all solicit fresh produce for school nutrition programs, and while several name grapes as line items within broader fresh-produce categories, none targets muscat grapes specifically, let alone non-GMO early muscats with the specificity the code implies. The recent activity spans primarily Georgia and Texas school districts, along with one Florida and one Wisconsin district, but this geographic mix reflects general school nutrition procurement rather than demand for this particular commodity.

State and local governments buy produce for child nutrition under broad produce codes (typically Family or Class tier), awarding contracts line-by-line across dozens of produce items to single or multiple vendors on annual or multi-year terms. The Commodity-tier muscat-grape code does not match the way procurement is actually structured—school districts issue RFPs and IFBs requesting 50–72 produce line items at once, with vendors quoting unit prices on apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and other staples, but no recent solicitation names muscat grapes at all, let alone as a discrete line item worthy of a dedicated commodity code. If pursuing this code, verify whether state or local nutrition programs in your target geography actually specify muscat grapes by varietal on their produce schedules; the evidence suggests they do not currently procure them as a distinct commodity, making this code inactive for business development purposes today.
