UNSPSC 50523449: Non GMO kyoho grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO kyoho 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 50523449 Non GMO Kyoho grapes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The opportunities tagged to this code reflect a broad scope of general food service, produce supply, and school nutrition contracting—including concession-stand food operations, fresh fruits and vegetables for school lunch programs, produce distribution for healthcare facilities, and petite bananas for school breakfast—but none specifically reference kyoho grapes, non-GMO specifications, or specialty grape procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal commodity (a named premium grape variety) and the actual work being solicited (generic fresh produce supply and multi-item food service) suggests misclassification rather than active market demand under this specific code.

State and local activity in produce procurement is concentrated among school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education in Georgia and Wisconsin), county parks and recreation divisions (Collier County, Florida), and healthcare networks (Marion Health Care Coalition). Recent opportunities span IFBs, RFPs, and ITNs posted between May and October 2026, with response dates through August 2026 and one March 2025 deadline. Geographic posting activity appears heaviest in Georgia and Wisconsin, with additional opportunities in Florida. Beyond these general produce and food-service contracts, the code shows no targeted procurement for kyoho grapes or other premium specialty grape varieties at the state or local level.
