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, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect grape procurement; instead, they span fresh produce supply for school nutrition programs, including bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, eggs, and specialty items for elementary through high school food service. The mismatch between the nominal code scope and the actual buying activity suggests that this code's category designation may not align with how state and local procurement offices currently tag fresh produce opportunities. School districts represent the overwhelming majority of issuing bodies, with a secondary presence from a state agency and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles.

School districts in Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin dominate recent activity, with Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, and Bulloch County School District posting the most recent sealed-bid and RFP solicitations for fresh produce. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items including apples, berries, melons, and leafy greens (due June 26, 2026, contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027), Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 72 produce line items for 30 districts across two Georgia regions (estimated annual spend $4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two, due March 4, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for fresh specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due March 11, 2026, estimated annual budget $600,000). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options; pricing is evaluated on lowest responsive bid or cost-plus models; and vendors must provide HACCP plans, traceability documentation, Buy American certification, and insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million in liability coverage.
