UNSPSC 50523465: Non GMO olivette grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO olivette 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 50523465 Non GMO olivette grapes, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh fruit procurement by state and local food-service operators, including school districts, county parks departments, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions sourcing produce for nutrition programs, cafeterias, and concession operations. State and local governments buy under this code to stock school lunch programs, regional park concession stands, fresh-fruit wellness initiatives, and healthcare-affiliated nutrition services, typically emphasizing food-safety compliance, delivery scheduling, quality standards, and increasingly local or organic sourcing preferences. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state purchasing offices (Georgia Department of Education or equivalent). Recent opportunities show school districts and county services as the primary users, with multi-item fresh-produce bids dominating the activity.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Wisconsin, where recent activity spans Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, and Early County Schools in Georgia, and Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin; Collier County, Florida and Marion County operations represent secondary markets. Representative recent opportunities include the Madison Metropolitan School District's request for bids on petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, 70–90 cases weekly at $78,000 annual value) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, 5,900 weekly servings for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program participants); Hancock County Schools' invitation for bids on over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple varieties (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, covering July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027); and Bartow County Schools' request for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026, contract term July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with four renewal options). School districts consistently weight cost at 40–50 percent of evaluation criteria, with secondary emphasis on local sourcing, traceability, food-safety certification (HACCP), and diverse-owned business status preferences ranging from 5–15 points. Delivery windows are typically early morning (5:00–7:00 a.m.) Monday through Friday, with temperature and freshness guarantees, 98 percent fill rates, and 24-hour substitute requirements standard across contracts.
