UNSPSC 50523471: Non GMO red blush grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO red blush 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 50523471 Non GMO red blush grapes (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of red blush grapes or specialty grape varieties; instead, they document school district and state agency solicitations for broad fresh produce categories, fresh fruit and vegetable programs, and general food service supplies where grapes appear as a single line item among dozens of produce options, not as the primary commodity being procured. The code as tagged does not match the work being bought.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, including 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, McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District, with a single state-level solicitation from the State of Georgia. Recent opportunities span RFBs, RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs with response dates between late February 2026 and late July 2026, addressing fresh produce procurement for school lunch and breakfast programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, and farm-to-school initiatives. Representative examples include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas with bids due July 29, 2026, valued at approximately $78,000 annually; Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 produce line items with bids due June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas and Florida. This code does not presently signal a viable pursuit opportunity; business development professionals should verify whether red blush grapes are actually being sourced through standard produce distribution contracts coded to broader UNSPSC families rather than this specific commodity code.
