UNSPSC 50523446: Non GMO jade seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO jade 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 50523446 Non GMO jade seedless grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local procurement activity documented in the recent-opportunities block. State and local school districts are actively procuring fresh produce for child nutrition programs, but the recent solicitations capture purchases of bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, melons, leafy greens, and other staple fresh fruits and vegetables—not grapes or specialty produce varieties. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the recent opportunities were apparently mistagged with this code or sourced from procurement systems that do not maintain accurate UNSPSC alignment for produce commodity purchases.

School districts across Georgia, Florida, and Texas dominate state and local produce procurement. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) are procuring produce for USDA-funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs and general school nutrition services. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia, cooperative procurement for 30 districts), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas) have all issued RFPs, RFBs, ITBs, and IFBs since early March 2026 for fresh produce supply. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 (petite bananas, due July 29, 2026; $78,000 annual value) and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (approximately $5.5 million combined annual spending across 30 Georgia districts for approximately 72 produce line items, questions due February 18, 2026, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with Texas and Wisconsin activity present. Most school nutrition contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options. Vendors must maintain HACCP plans, comply with Buy American provisions, carry liability insurance typically between $500,000 and $2,000,000, and meet USDA food safety and whole-grain standards. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent solicitations reviewed.
