UNSPSC 50523452: Non GMO late seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO late 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 50523452 Non GMO late seedless grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source records show school districts soliciting fresh produce for child nutrition programs—bananas, apples, berries, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and eggs—but no grapes of any variety, including seedless grapes, appear in the recent opportunities. One record lists red and green seedless grapes as line items in the Glynn County Board of Education fresh produce procurement, but the dominant pattern across sixteen recent opportunities reflects broad produce categories for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supply, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery, and Farm to School initiatives. The code's nominal scope does not match the actual work being solicited at scale under this tag.

School districts and county boards of education in Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida drive the visible activity, posting RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for annual fresh produce contracts serving 13 to 31 school sites with weekly or twice-weekly delivery, HACCP plan compliance, Buy American domestic sourcing preference, and insurance requirements ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability coverage. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with $78,000 estimated annual value; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items due June 26, 2026; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative, covering 30 school districts across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026; and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages due March 11, 2026. The code shows little relevant procurement activity—use caution in pursuit until clarifying whether the tagging error reflects broader UNSPSC classification drift or a narrow mismatch in this dataset.
