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 showing little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities blocks identifies sixteen fresh produce solicitations from school districts and educational systems across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, but only one directly names grapes in a specification list—the Bulloch County School District's local farm-to-school RFP cites produce items including "various greens, lettuce, broccoli, carrots, spinach, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, pears, Vidalia onions, whole grain flour, and butter beans" with no mention of grapes. The Glynn County Board of Education IFB specifies "red and green seedless grapes" at 2,550 units each, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 lists fresh produce staples without detailed line-item transparency in the summary. More broadly, state and local governments under these solicitations are buying comprehensive fresh produce portfolios—fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, melons, citrus, and eggs—delivered on weekly or daily schedules to school nutrition programs serving the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The code's nominal scope (non-GMO red grapes) is narrower than the mixed-produce purchasing actually occurring; the recent opportunities reveal institutional procurement of dozens of produce items at once, not single-commodity buys.

School districts and boards of education dominate the issuing body mix across Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with standout repeat buyers including the Liberty County Board of Education (two food and produce IFBs in March 2026), Glynn County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Madison Metropolitan School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and others. Georgia accounts for the highest concentration of recent activity—Liberty County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Hancock County, Early County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, and Bartow County all issued produce or food solicitations between February and July 2026. Texas and Florida also show institutional demand: Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026), McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029, due March 6, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida (RFP 26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026, for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery). Representative recent opportunities include Glynn County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB 27-02 (due April 14, 2026, for 16 school locations, 60 produce line items, weekly Tuesday deliveries, annual contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027); Liberty County Board of Education's produce IFB (due April 29, 2026, for 13 school sites, weekly deliveries, annual fixed price with January 2027 price redetermination); and Bulloch County School District's local-produce RFP (due May 4, 2026, 24 items including apples, berries, and citrus grown within 200 miles, contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027). Most solicitations use IFB or RFP notice types with sealed bid submission and 30–60 day award timelines, emphasizing Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2 million, and firm pricing for contract terms ranging from one to four years.
