UNSPSC 50523441: Non GMO galaxy seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO galaxy 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 50523441 Non GMO galaxy seedless grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh-produce supply agreements for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show limited direct demand for the specific variety named in the code. Instead, state and local food-service solicitations across schools, county parks, and healthcare coalitions are procuring broad fresh-produce categories—including individual fruit items, seasonal vegetables, and mixed fruit-and-vegetable snacks—with specs that emphasize ripeness standards, traceability, delivery timeliness, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans), and competitive pricing. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with additional activity from county parks departments, county boards of education, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. Geographic activity centers on Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with secondary activity in Florida (Collier County) and Marion County (location unspecified).

Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's IFB for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026), requesting 70–90 cases weekly at an estimated annual value of $78,000 with strict ripeness and temperature specifications; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026) with Buy American domestic-content requirements; and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, proposals due June 22, 2026, contract award July 20, 2026). School districts consistently weight cost at 40 percent and emphasize compliance with USDA nutrition standards, local or domestic sourcing preferences, organic or reduced-price-discount options, and proof of food-safety certifications. Collier County Parks and Recreation solicited food-service concessions (ITN 258360, proposals due March 6, 2025) that include fresh produce as part of broader beverage and snack operations, while the State of Georgia and Marion Health Care Coalition posted produce bids with minimal public detail (May–August 2026). Few solicitations name the Non GMO Galaxy variety by name; most seek commodity produce under generic line items or supplier discretion within ripeness and quality windows.
