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 that captures fresh fruit procurement by state and local food service operations, though recent opportunities show the code is rarely applied to gamay grapes specifically. Instead, state and local buyers use this commodity tier and the broader family to procure fresh produce—bananas, apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, melons, leafy greens, and specialty items—for school nutrition programs, parks and recreation food concessions, healthcare facility dining, and county food services. The solicitations show school districts as the dominant issuing bodies, supported by county parks and recreation divisions, county boards of education, and healthcare coalitions. School nutrition programs across multiple states are the most active buyers, routinely issuing RFBs and RFPs for produce that must meet USDA nutrition standards, domestic-content preferences, and food-safety compliance including HACCP plans and E-Verify authorization. Vendors typically deliver to central warehouse locations on early-morning schedules and face strict quality standards, traceability requirements, and temperature-control mandates.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Wisconsin, Florida, and Mississippi. Madison Metropolitan School District issued back-to-back RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 weekly servings, Wisconsin-sourced within 400 miles, due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce covering over 200 line items for delivery to three school sites (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). Bartow County School System in Georgia sought local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Early County Board of Education in Georgia requested approximately 300+ food items including fruits and vegetables for school lunch and breakfast programs (bids due June 8, 2026). Marion Health Care Coalition in Florida requested produce proposals for the 2026–2027 period (due August 21, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concessions operations (ITN #258360, due March 6, 2025). Evaluation typically weights cost at 35–50%, product quality and compliance at 15–25%, vendor experience and qualifications at 10–20%, and local or diverse-owned business status at 5–15%.
