UNSPSC 50523448: Non GMO king ruby grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO king ruby 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 50523448 Non GMO king ruby grapes is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement systems with minimal recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Madison Metropolitan School District's solicitation for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026)—involves fresh bananas for school nutrition programs, not king ruby grapes. The broader pattern in the opportunities block shows school districts and county systems across Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin procuring comprehensive fresh produce for child nutrition and school lunch programs, but king ruby grapes do not appear as a line item in any of the recent solicitations reviewed. School nutrition programs buy fresh fruits and vegetables in significant volume—Madison Metropolitan projects annual bananas spend at $78,000 alone, and the Douglas County cooperative RFP estimates $4.4 million annually across 18 districts for produce and eggs—but purchasing is typically done through broader produce categories and multi-item RFPs rather than narrow single-cultivar commodity codes.

Issuing bodies are almost exclusively school districts and boards of education (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Douglas County, and Hillsborough County) across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, with one state-level food procurement from Georgia. These districts buy produce through RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs with response dates typically 30 to 60 days out, emphasizing domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, traceability documentation, and Buy American provisions. Representative opportunities include the Douglas County cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million annually), Bulloch County's farm-to-school local-produce IFP requiring 200-mile sourcing (due May 4, 2026), and Hillsborough County's USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables to 18 elementary schools (due March 11, 2026, estimated $600,000 annually). The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity; no bidders appear to be pursuing king ruby grapes specifically under this code in state and local channels at this time.
