UNSPSC 50523450: Non GMO la rochelle grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO la rochelle 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 50523450 Non-GMO La Rochelle grapes (Commodity) does not align with active state and local procurement activity. The source identifies one Commodity code—50523450—but the recent contract opportunities block contains no solicitations for La Rochelle grapes, GMO status varieties, or wine grapes of any kind. Instead, the posted opportunities target fresh produce for school nutrition programs: petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, mixed produce for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, and specialty items (apples, berries, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, tomatoes, and eggs) across multiple school districts and one state department. The mismatch between code name and actual buying activity signals that this Commodity code either sees minimal state and local procurement volume or is infrequently used as a classification tag by issuing bodies in recent months.

School nutrition procurement dominates the broader produce category at the Class and Family level, driven by districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin. The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and boards of education (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, Douglas County School System, and Hillsborough County Public Schools). Most solicitations use RFP, RFB, IFB, or ITB formats with response deadlines between late February and late July 2026. Contract terms typically run July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with renewal options. Vendors must meet Buy American provisions, HACCP requirements, insurance thresholds ($500,000 to $2 million general liability), and federal work authorization compliance. Geographic preferences for locally grown produce (within 50–400 miles) appear frequently, and several districts weight diverse-owned business status in evaluation. No specific activity under UNSPSC 50523450 appears in the available records.
