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 is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of fresh napoleon grapes meeting non-GMO sourcing standards, though recent state and local opportunities show the code is rarely solicited as a standalone item and instead appears embedded in broader fresh produce and food-service contracting. When fresh fruit procurement does occur, state and local governments typically buy it as part of comprehensive food-service operations at regional parks and recreation facilities, school nutrition programs serving lunch and breakfast meals, or institutional health-care food operations. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county park systems (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), county boards of education, health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agriculture or food-service procurement offices. School districts dominate the recent activity, with food-service solicitations emphasizing USDA compliance, fresh-product quality standards, HACCP certification, and domestic or regional sourcing preferences where applicable.

Recent opportunities reflect geographic spread primarily across Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District issued two RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas (projected annual value $78,000, bids due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (bids due July 29, 2026, requiring produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin), while Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits. Bartow County School System in Georgia sought local fresh fruits and vegetables (RFP 10-2026-019, proposals due June 22, 2026, emphasizing produce from farms within 400 miles) with contract award anticipated for July 20, 2026. Early County Board of Education in Georgia requested line-by-line food bids including fresh produce, bids due June 8, 2026.
