UNSPSC 50523439: Non GMO flame tokay grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO flame tokay 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 50523439 Non GMO flame tokay grapes, a Commodity code, describes fresh fruit procurement by state and local governments — typically for school nutrition programs, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare facilities, and other public entities operating food service operations. The code appears in solicitations for fresh produce supply contracts where grapes and other fresh fruits are purchased either as standalone line items or as components of broader fresh produce portfolios. Recent opportunities show school districts and county agencies soliciting fresh fruit as part of meal programs, concession operations, and special federal nutrition initiatives. The work involves sourcing, quality assurance, delivery logistics, and compliance with food safety standards; vendors commonly must meet HACCP requirements, temperature-control specifications, ripeness and size standards, and delivery windows tied to institutional food-service schedules.

State and local procurement activity under this code spans school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Early County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and healthcare-affiliated entities (Marion Health Care Coalition). Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Wisconsin. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, weekly usage 70–90 cases, contract value $78,000 for September 2026–June 2027) requiring delivery to a single food production center Monday through Friday between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. at specified ripeness and temperature standards; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026, contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027); and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026, contract July 20, 2026–June 30, 2027 with four renewal options). Pricing is typically per pound or per case; evaluation emphasizes cost, delivery reliability, product quality, farm traceability, and geographic or diversity preference where applicable. Buy American provisions and local-sourcing preferences appear frequently in school district solicitations.
