UNSPSC 50523483: Non GMO scuppernong grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO scuppernong 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 50523483 Non GMO scuppernong grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce procurement by state and local government entities, though the recent opportunities show no activity specifically targeting scuppernong grapes—instead, state and local buyers are soliciting broader fresh fruit and vegetable supplies including bananas, apples, berries, stone fruits, melons, and leafy greens for school nutrition programs, county parks, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies. School districts represent the dominant issuing body in the recent record, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, and Early County Board of Education all posting IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce in the May–July 2026 window; other solicitors include county parks departments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia). Work under this code centers on commodity sourcing for school lunch and breakfast programs, park concessions, and institutional food service, with vendors required to meet HACCP food-safety certification, delivery schedules (often early morning Monday–Friday), minimum freshness and fill-rate guarantees, and liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1 million.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and Wisconsin, with recent opportunities from Hancock County (Sparta), Bartow County (Cartersville), Early County, and the State of Georgia on the southern end, and Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin on the northern end; Florida and Marion County (location of Marion Health Care Coalition) complete the visible spread. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's IFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across apples, berries, root vegetables, melons, and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026, contract July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027); Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026) and Collier County's ITN 258360 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, including concession operation (due March 6, 2025, three-year term). School districts often apply local-vendor or regional-sourcing preferences (Bartow County and Madison Metropolitan both emphasize 400-mile sourcing radius) and evaluate diverse-owned business status at 5–10 points; Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content appear in some school district procurements.
