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, represents a narrow produce line item within the broader fresh-fruit procurement that state and local governments, particularly school districts and healthcare food-service entities, source through RFBs and RFPs. Recent solicitations show school districts and county nutrition programs purchasing fresh produce either as itemized line items within multi-hundred-item food bids or, in one instance, as a component of water-park and regional-park concession operations. The code addresses a specific cultivar and growing standard, but state and local procurement activity under it appears embedded within larger fresh-produce solicitations where grapes are one among dozens of fruit and vegetable line items rather than standalone procurements. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Early County, Bartow County in Georgia), county boards of education, a county parks and recreation department, and health-care coalitions; school districts dominate the recent activity, sourcing produce for the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. Madison Metropolitan School District issued two separate RFBs in July 2026—one for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and another for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 weekly servings, Wisconsin-sourced within 400 miles, due July 29, 2026)—both showing school systems' granular purchasing discipline. Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce posted June 10, 2026 (due June 26) listed over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. Bartow County School System in Georgia requested local fresh fruits and vegetables (400-mile sourcing requirement, RFP due June 22, 2026) for the 2026–2027 school year with four optional one-year renewals. Collier County, Florida Parks and Recreation Division issued an ITN in October 2026 (due March 6, 2025—note apparent date error in source) for food services at North Collier Regional Park, which would encompass fresh produce as part of concession operations. The recent-opportunities block shows no standalone jade seedless grape solicitations; the code likely surfaces within multi-item produce RFBs but does not generate dedicated procurement notices.
