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 (Commodity) does not appear in state and local procurement activity based on recent solicitation records. The recent opportunities tagged with this code are primarily for petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and mixed produce line items across multiple school nutrition programs—none of which align with the narrow scope of non-GMO red malaga grapes. The mismatch between the code's nominal product and the work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding in source systems or that red malaga grapes specifically are not a commodity state and local buyers are currently pursuing through formal procurement channels.

State and local procurement activity in the fresh produce space overall is concentrated among school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with school districts issuing RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for comprehensive produce supply contracts serving thousands of students. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 (Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (bid opening June 29, 2026), Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined (proposals due March 4, 2026), and Austin Independent School District RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages (proposals due March 11, 2026). These solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, and multi-vendor awards on a line-item basis. If red malaga grapes are part of a broader produce supply strategy, positioning requires alignment with large school nutrition contracts that source dozens of fruit and vegetable items rather than single-commodity pursuit.
