UNSPSC 50523435: Non GMO fantasy grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO fantasy 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 50523435 Non GMO fantasy grapes is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity captured in recent opportunities. The code's nominal scope—non-GMO fantasy grapes, a fictional product—does not correspond to the produce that school districts, county parks, health coalitions, and state agencies are actually soliciting. Recent opportunities under this code tag show solicitations for conventional fresh produce (petite bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), ready-to-eat fruit and vegetable snacks, local and regional sourcing of fresh fruits and vegetables, and general food service for parks and school nutrition programs. These solicitations are practical procurements of commodity produce that does not carry non-GMO positioning as a primary specification or evaluation criterion. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being bought suggests the code is not in active or appropriate use for state and local food service procurement.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities are primarily school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bartow County School System in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia) and one county parks department (Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), along with a healthcare coalition in Marion Health Care Coalition and the State of Georgia procurement office. Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County) and Wisconsin (Madison), with a single Florida opportunity. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas due July 29, 2026 with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000, Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ line items due June 26, 2026 for the 2026-27 school year, and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables (sourced within 400 miles) due June 22, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity for non-GMO specialty grapes or produce with non-GMO positioning as a material specification.
