UNSPSC 50523475: Non GMO regina grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO regina 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 50523475 Non-GMO Regina Grapes (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally designates a single produce line item—Non-GMO Regina grapes—yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly seeking this variety. Instead, recent school nutrition procurement across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida calls for broad fresh produce baskets (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, melons, and specialty items) with no mention of Regina grapes by name or non-GMO specification as a line item. The mismatch suggests either sparse demand for this specific commodity under this code, inconsistent coding at the issuing-body level, or that Regional grapes enter procurement under parent codes or through produce-category RFPs rather than as a dedicated commodity code.

School districts and school nutrition programs dominate the issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Georgia (Glynn County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Hancock County, Douglas County, and Muscogee County school systems), Texas (McAllen Independent, Austin Independent, and broader cooperative purchasing vehicles), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan). Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas with bids due July 29, 2026, and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles; Hancock County Board of Education IFB for over 200 produce line items with bids due June 26, 2026; and Bulloch County School District's IFP for 24 locally grown produce items with proposals due May 4, 2026. Cost typically carries 30–50 percent evaluation weight, with quality, traceability, HACCP compliance, and on-time delivery the secondary determinants. No recent solicitation specifically names Regina grapes or non-GMO produce as a discrete line item, indicating this code either sees limited activity or is underutilized for this commodity.
