UNSPSC 50523474: Non GMO red seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO red seedless 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 50523474 Non GMO red seedless grapes is a Commodity code that tracks state and local procurement of fresh produce, specifically grapes sourced to non-GMO specifications. However, recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal direct procurement of grapes themselves; instead, the code appears to capture a broader fresh-produce buying pattern that includes bananas, mixed vegetables, berries, citrus, stone fruits, and other commodity items. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bartow County School System all posting solicitations in the past four months. County parks departments and health-care coalition bodies also participate. The work being solicited encompasses weekly and annual fresh-produce contracts for school nutrition programs (including USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program delivery), park concessions, and general institutional food service, with vendors required to meet HACCP plans, food-safety compliance, delivery schedules, traceability documentation, and often local or domestic sourcing preferences.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Wisconsin, with recent opportunities from Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia), Bartow County School System (Cartersville, Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Madison Metropolitan School District (Madison, Wisconsin), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida). The State of Georgia also posted a broad food-supplies solicitation due June 22, 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, estimated annual value $78,000, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering 200+ line items including apples, berries, and root vegetables (due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026). School districts typically require competitive bidding, HACCP compliance, liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million), E-Verify authorization, and evaluation on cost (30–40% weight), product quality and traceability, diverse-vendor status, and local or domestic sourcing preferences; contract terms generally run one school year with renewal options.
