UNSPSC 50523438: Non GMO flame seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO flame 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 50523438 Non GMO flame seedless grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity in the source. The recent opportunities record shows no bids, RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs for grapes or specialty fruit items under this code; instead, the posted opportunities focus on broad fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs serving apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, and other commodity vegetables and generic fruits, along with eggs and processed produce items. A review of the seventeen recent school district and cooperative purchasing opportunities across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin (posted between February and July 2026) reveals sustained demand for fresh produce from school nutrition programs, but no issuing body has specifically solicited non-GMO flame seedless grapes as a standalone line item or focus category. School districts' produce specifications typically include seeded and seedless grapes generically within broader vegetable and fruit categories—for example, Glynn County (Georgia) lists "red and green seedless grapes" at 2,550 units each, and Liberty County (Georgia) includes grapes in its mixed produce offerings—but no recent opportunity names a specialized varietal designation or non-GMO certification requirement at the code level.

The code shows little relevant recent activity warranting pursuit at this time. The broader produce-supply category (UNSPSC family 50523400 or related fresh-fruit commodity codes) remains active across school districts, food service cooperatives, and nutrition programs, with issuing bodies including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), multiple Georgia school boards (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County), the State of Georgia, McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and the Douglas County School System cooperative. Opportunities emphasize compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP certifications, product traceability, and competitive pricing tied to USDA terminal market reports. If your firm supplies specialty or certified non-GMO grapes, repositioning toward broader fresh-produce supply contracts under higher-tier commodity codes, or direct outreach to school nutrition directors to clarify niche demand, may yield better results than tracking this specific code.
