UNSPSC 50523451: Non GMO lady finger grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO lady finger 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 50523451 Non GMO lady finger grapes, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce items that state and local governments procure for food service operations, though the recent opportunities do not reference lady finger grapes specifically. State and local buyers under this code include school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and special districts seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for student nutrition programs, institutional food service, and concession operations. The scope of work spans fresh produce procurement with emphasis on food safety compliance, delivery scheduling, quality standards, and traceability documentation; school districts and institutional food service operations typically require HACCP plans, delivery within specified temperature ranges, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards and Buy American provisions where applicable.

Recent activity shows school districts and county jurisdictions across Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida issuing bids and proposals for fresh produce. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, bids due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and within Wisconsin (5,900 servings weekly, bids due July 29, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia released IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits (bids due June 26, 2026). Bartow County School System in Georgia issued RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia and Wisconsin, with single recent opportunities in Florida and broader state-level procurement in Georgia.
