UNSPSC 50523466: Non GMO perlette grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO perlette 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 50523466 Non GMO perlette grapes is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal classification—the solicitations are for fresh produce broadly (bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, carrots, and eggs), not perlette grapes specifically. School nutrition programs are the predominant buyers, with issuing bodies limited to independent school districts and county boards of education across Georgia and Texas. The code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited; these opportunities reflect general fresh-produce procurement for child nutrition, not the specialized variety named in the code classification.

The geographic distribution of recent activity centers on Georgia school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, Douglas County School System) and extends to Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). 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 due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty items; Bulloch County School District's Invitation for Proposal for locally-grown produce due May 4, 2026, specifying 24 produce items within 200 miles of Bulloch County; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. All solicitations use IFB or RFP notice types with response dates concentrated between March and July 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to perlette grapes; the opportunities reflect commodity-level school nutrition procurement for mixed fresh produce assortments rather than single specialty-fruit sourcing.
