UNSPSC 50523478: Non GMO rouge grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO rouge 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 50523478 Non GMO rouge grapes is a Commodity code that covers the supply and delivery of fresh produce, including specialty fruit varieties, to state and local institutional food-service operations. State and local governments procure this code primarily through school districts and county parks and recreation departments seeking produce suppliers for cafeteria, food-service, and concession operations. The work encompasses sourcing, quality assurance, timely delivery to designated facilities, compliance with food-safety and HACCP standards, and maintenance of competitive pricing and inventory management. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple recent solicitations from independent school districts and county boards of education seeking fresh fruit and vegetable supply for National School Lunch Program and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program operations; county parks departments and health-care coalitions also source fresh produce under the code.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and upper Midwest, with solicitations from Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and a Florida county parks system (Collier County). Madison Metropolitan School District posted an RFB for petite bananas on July 8, 2026, with bids due July 29, 2026, requiring 70–90 cases weekly at an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 for the 2026–2027 school year. Bartow County Schools issued RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles of the school system, with a June 22, 2026 proposal deadline and contract term from July 20, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce under IFB #SN002-2027 with over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 for the 2026–2027 school year. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids with a June 8, 2026 deadline covering approximately 300+ food items including fresh fruits and vegetables for the National School Lunch Program.
