UNSPSC 50523467: Non GMO perlon grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO perlon 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 50523467 Non GMO perlon grapes is a Commodity code that in practice captures fresh fruit and vegetable procurement for institutional food service operations across state and local government entities, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal activity directly matching "non GMO perlon grapes" as a discrete line item. Instead, recent solicitations tag fresh produce procurement more broadly—including individual fruit items (bananas, apples), mixed fresh fruit and vegetable programs, and comprehensive produce catalogs—under this code. State and local buyers using the code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agencies (State of Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, reflecting the scale of National School Lunch Program and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program procurement; parks and recreation concession operations and healthcare food service represent secondary but recurring use cases.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Wisconsin, with Georgia showing the highest concentration (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, and State of Georgia all posting between May and June 2026). Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, bids due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits (sealed bids due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, which encompasses fresh food and beverage offerings. School district solicitations emphasize HACCP plans, Buy American or domestic-sourcing preferences, organic and whole-grain options, delivery temperature and timing controls, and traceability documentation; local-sourcing preferences and geographic-distance filters (Wisconsin and Georgia examples limiting sourcing to within 400 miles) are common evaluation criteria.
