UNSPSC 50523443: Non GMO gold grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO gold 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 50523443 Non GMO gold grapes is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little activity aligned with this specific produce item. The available solicitations instead reflect a broader institutional food service market dominated by school districts procuring comprehensive fresh produce assortments—including apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and eggs—for school nutrition programs serving the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. The code's nominal scope does not match the actual buying patterns in the posted opportunities. State and local school districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin are the primary issuing bodies, with repeat activity from counties including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Glynn County Schools, Douglas County Schools, and independent school districts in Austin and McAllen.

The recent opportunities reflect RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs for multi-item fresh produce supply contracts with response dates spanning from late February through late July 2026. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items (due June 26, 2026); Bulloch County School District's IFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles of the county (due May 4, 2026); Liberty County Schools' dual IFBs for produce and food products (due April 29, 2026); Muscogee County Schools' ITB 26-017 for produce items evaluated against USDA Fruit and Vegetable Market News Index pricing (due April 27, 2026); Douglas County Schools' RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026); and Austin ISD's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages (due March 11, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin. These opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, traceability, domestic sourcing preferences, and weekly delivery to multiple school sites.
