UNSPSC 50523442: Non GMO gamay grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO gamay 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 50523442 Non-GMO gamay grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect sourcing of gamay grapes. Instead, the posted opportunities show school districts and one state agency procuring a broad range of fresh produce items—bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, melons, and specialty fruits—for school nutrition programs and federal child nutrition initiatives. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (non-GMO gamay grapes, a specific wine varietal) and what is actually being bought (institutional fresh produce for schools) signals that this code carries little decision-relevant activity for vendors focused on gamay grapes or specialty wine fruit sourcing. School districts across Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin dominate recent solicitations, typically issuing RFQs, RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs with response dates ranging from March through July 2026. Madison Metropolitan School District (petite bananas, RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (over 200 fresh produce line items, IFB, due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System (local fresh fruits and vegetables, RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026), and Bulloch County School District (24 locally-grown produce items, IFP, due May 4, 2026) are representative recent buyers.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, where multiple school districts—Liberty County, Glynn County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and others—have posted produce procurement notices since March 2026. Texas school districts (Austin, McAllen) and Florida (Hillsborough County) also show recent activity. Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District) appears once. The State of Georgia posted a general food-supply solicitation in May 2026 with limited scope detail. No repeat buyers under this specific code number are evident from the opportunities block, though school nutrition programs are the consistent issuing-body type. Most procurements reflect cooperative purchasing arrangements (GEC Buying Cooperative), USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding, or general school lunch and breakfast program needs. Vendors responding to these opportunities typically face Buy American provisions, HACCP plan requirements, GAP certification, domestic-sourcing or local-sourcing preferences (200-400 miles), and evaluation criteria favoring cost alongside product quality, delivery reliability, and past performance. Contract terms run July through June (school fiscal years), with prices often indexed to USDA market reports or fixed for 12 months with prospective redetermination thereafter.
