UNSPSC 50523433: Non GMO empress grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO empress 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 50523433 Non GMO empress grapes (Commodity) does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The source contains sixteen recent school nutrition solicitations across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, but none target non-GMO empress grapes or any single grape variety as a standalone product. The one opportunity that names grapes—the Glynn County Board of Education IFB 27-02 (due April 14, 2026)—specifies red and green seedless grapes as two of approximately 60 produce line items in a comprehensive fresh-produce procurement, with no emphasis on variety, non-GMO status, or branding. The other school nutrition RFPs and IFBs solicit multi-item fresh-produce baskets or full food-service catalogs covering fruits, vegetables, eggs, dairy, proteins, and dry goods for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, typically through school districts or boards of education in the Southeast, South, and Southwest.

State and local governments do not appear to buy non-GMO empress grapes as a distinct commodity code through the procurement channels captured in this source. School-nutrition solicitations focus on commodity-grade fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts where individual fruit varieties (apples, bananas, berries, melons, citrus) are listed as interchangeable line items with cost-driven selection. No procurement in the source signals demand for premium or specialty grape varieties, organic or non-GMO designations, or branded produce at the school-nutrition level. This code warrants a skip unless your pipeline includes produce distributors actively marketing to school districts with premium-segment positioning, which the available data does not support.
