UNSPSC 50523460: Non GMO napoleon grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO napoleon 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 50523460 Non GMO napoleon grapes (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The opportunities tagged with this code are overwhelmingly school nutrition procurement for fresh produce and beverages — bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, citrus fruits, and eggs — with no specific mention of napoleon grapes, non-GMO produce mandates, or the specialized agricultural commodity this code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are entirely K–12 school districts and boards of education, spanning Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, soliciting produce for National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. These are routine institutional food-service contracts with standardized RFP, RFB (Request for Bid), and IFB structures, not specialty agricultural procurement.

Recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) RFP 26039RFPDST for fresh fruit and vegetable program delivery to 18 elementary schools, estimated annual budget $600,000 (USDA-funded); and Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (where multiple county school districts and the State of Georgia itself posted solicitations in March–June 2026), with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the commodity name and the actual procurement suggests miscoding of opportunities rather than an active market for non-GMO napoleon grapes at the state and local level.
