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, a Commodity code, covers fresh fruit procurement by state and local food service operations, including school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare facilities, and produce cooperatives. The recent solicitations show school nutrition programs and food service operators buying fresh produce under this code as part of broader food-service contracts that span multiple produce line items, individual commodity bids, and local-sourcing initiatives. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state government (State of Georgia). The work encompasses sourcing, delivery, compliance with HACCP and food-safety standards, temperature maintenance during transport, traceability documentation by farm of origin, and adherence to Buy American content thresholds where applicable. Many jurisdictions impose geographic sourcing requirements — Wisconsin and Georgia school districts require produce sourced within 400 miles or from in-state suppliers — and offer vendor preferences for diverse-owned business status, local business address and residency, and organic products at specified price discounts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin school districts with the highest volume of recent postings. The Hancock County Board of Education IFB posted June 10, 2026 (due June 26) specifies over 200 line items of fresh produce including berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school locations across the 2026-27 contract year. Madison Metropolitan School District issued two RFBs in July 2026: petite bananas (RFB 4162, bids due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000 for 70-90 cases weekly during school sessions) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, bids due July 29, 2026, approximately 5,900 servings weekly for elementary students under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program with sourcing required within 400 miles and Wisconsin boundaries). Bartow County School System issued an RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables (RFP 10-2026-019, proposals due June 22, 2026) with weighted evaluation emphasizing cost, seasonal variety, ordering and delivery capability, product quality, and customer support. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITN for food services including concession operations at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, proposals due March 6, 2025) where food vendors operate facilities and provide diverse beverage and food options during regular and peak tournament seasons, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points.
