UNSPSC 50523473: Non GMO red malaga grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO red malaga 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 50523473 Non GMO red malaga grapes is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce sourcing by state and local food-service operations, particularly school districts and public health coalitions purchasing fresh fruits for dining programs, snacks, and concession operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing individual commodity line items — petite bananas by the case, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for elementary students, and bulk fresh produce for school nutrition programs — alongside broader produce category bids that include red malaga grapes within larger mixed-fruit line-item lists. The buying population spans school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county recreation departments (Collier County), regional health coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, typically issuing RFBs or ITNs for food-service commodities as part of annual or multi-year contracts supporting lunch, breakfast, and supplemental feeding programs.

Geographic concentration in the source reflects recent activity in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County, Early County Board of Education, State of Georgia procurement), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County), with representation across the South and upper Midwest where school-district procurement cycles align with fiscal-year budgeting. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce including multiple apple and citrus varieties for July 2026–June 2027 delivery to three school sites with a June 26, 2026 bid due date; Madison Metropolitan School District issuing separate RFBs for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 weekly servings, local-sourced within 400 miles of Wisconsin, due July 29, 2026); and Bartow County School System requesting proposals for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with June 22, 2026 submission deadline and July 20, 2026 anticipated award. Collier County's ITN for North Collier Regional Park food services (due March 6, 2025) sought diverse food and beverage offerings across concession facilities, reflecting municipal recreation demand alongside school nutrition procurement.
