UNSPSC 50523456: Non GMO muscadine grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO muscadine 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 50523456 Non GMO muscadine grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little activity directly aligned with muscadine grapes specifically. The seven posted opportunities span school nutrition programs, county park concessions, health care coalition food service, and state procurement for general food and kitchen products—encompassing broad fresh produce procurement across apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and assorted fruits and vegetables, but with no solicitation explicitly naming muscadine grapes or viticulture products.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia), alongside county and state bodies: Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Marion Health Care Coalition, and the State of Georgia. The geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026, specifying produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin; Hancock County's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, melons, citrus, leafy greens) due June 26, 2026; Bartow County's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles due June 22, 2026; and Collier County's ITN 258360 for food services at a regional park with concession operations due March 6, 2025. The code shows no recent muscadine-specific demand signal and may reflect a mis-tagging of these solicitations within the procurement database.
