UNSPSC 50523457: Non GMO muscat flame grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO muscat flame 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 50523457 Non GMO muscat flame grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses procurement of specialty produce items for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and recreational facility concessions. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring specific fresh fruit varieties to meet operational and dietary requirements across multiple venues, though recent opportunities show that solicitations tagged to this code actually span broad produce procurement — including bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, and general produce line items — rather than muscat grapes specifically. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and specialized health-care procurement entities (Marion Health Care Coalition). School districts dominate the activity, driven by Child Nutrition Program funding and USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program grants.

Recent solicitations cluster in Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District issued two separate RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29), with the latter restricted to produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and requiring organic-produce pricing discounts. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026 (due June 26) for over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits for delivery across three school locations. Bartow County School System in Georgia posted RFP 10-2026-019 on May 21, 2026 (due June 22) for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced from farms within 400 miles. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park on October 8, 2026 (due March 6, 2025) that includes fresh fruit as part of broader food and beverage concession operations. Most school district bids weight cost at 40 percent, emphasize Buy American and domestic agricultural content, require HACCP plans and E-Verify compliance, and typically run for contract periods of one school year with optional renewals; local-sourcing preferences and diverse-owned business certifications appear in multiple Georgia procurements.
