UNSPSC 50523461: Non GMO negria grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO negria 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 50523461 Non-GMO Negria Grapes (Commodity) shows a disconnect between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name references a specific grape varietal with non-GMO designation; however, the recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for negria grapes specifically. Instead, state and local buyers have posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for broad fresh produce procurement that includes bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, melons, and eggs—but no records name negria grapes as a line item or scope element. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies across recent opportunities, with the Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posting fresh produce solicitations between February and July 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with additional representation from Wisconsin and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) with estimated annual contract value of $78,000, Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items (bid opening June 29, 2026), Bulloch County School District's RFP for 24 locally-grown produce items within 200 miles of the county (proposals due May 4, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for approximately 72 fresh produce and egg line items across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (proposals due March 4, 2026).
