UNSPSC 50523476: Non GMO ribier grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO ribier 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 50523476 Non GMO ribier grapes is a Commodity code that covers fresh fruit procurement by state and local food service operations. The code sees active solicitation from school districts, county parks departments, and health-care coalitions seeking fresh produce for student meals, public facilities, and operational food services. School districts represent the primary buyer segment under this code, issuing specifications tied to USDA nutrition programs, domestic sourcing requirements, and compliance with state whole-grain and food-safety standards. Scope work across recent solicitations includes fresh fruit and vegetable procurement with emphasis on quality standards, food-safety certification (HACCP plans and traceability documentation), temperature-controlled delivery, and compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable. Vendors must meet itemized specifications for case sizes, ripeness stages, and unit counts; provide commercial liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million per occurrence); maintain E-Verify authorization; and submit anti-collusion affidavits and debarment certifications.
