UNSPSC 50523464: Non GMO niagara grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO niagara 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 50523464 Non GMO Niagara grapes is a Commodity code that covers procurement of specialty fresh produce — specifically non-GMO grapes of the Niagara variety — by state and local governments for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span school districts, county parks departments, and health-care-affiliated entities purchasing fresh produce for cafeteria operations, concession facilities, and program meal service. The work includes sourcing, quality certification, delivery logistics, temperature and ripeness management, food safety compliance, and vendor performance against health and agricultural standards. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (particularly in Georgia), school district nutrition departments, county parks and recreation divisions, and regional health-care coalitions purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables to support National School Lunch Program operations, park concessions, and institutional food service.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District posted an IFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026) with sourcing restricted to Wisconsin and within 400 miles of Madison, alongside a separate petite-banana IFB for the same deadline. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across the 2026–2027 school year (bids due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County School System (Georgia) solicited local fresh fruits and vegetables via RFP with proposal due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (proposals due March 6, 2025), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line bids for food and non-food products to support school meal programs (bids due June 8, 2026). School nutrition departments dominate recent activity, with strong preference signals for domestic sourcing, local-vendor preferences worth evaluation points, HACCP documentation, and compliance with food safety and Buy American provisions where applicable.
