UNSPSC 50523485: Non GMO sugarthirteen grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO sugarthirteen 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 50523485 Non GMO sugarthirteen grapes is a Commodity code that spans fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, primarily school districts and county park systems. The recent opportunities in the dataset show minimal direct procurement of the specific commodity named in the code; instead, the opportunities cluster around broader fresh produce categories including fresh fruits, vegetables, and prepared snacks. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with Madison Metropolitan School District and Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Bartow County School System posting multiple RFBs and RFPs for fresh produce, petite bananas, and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks. Collier County Board of County Commissioners appears once for food services contracting at a regional park. The scope of work under the code reflects institutional food service procurement: school districts bid line-by-line for seasonal fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits), with attention to sourcing (Buy American provisions, 400-mile local-source preferences where specified), food safety compliance (HACCP plans, E-Verify), delivery logistics (early-morning windows, temperature control, minimum fill rates), and sustainability attributes (organic pricing preferences, non-GMO considerations in some cases). Evaluation criteria emphasize cost (typically 30–40%), product quality and availability, vendor qualifications, and diverse-owned business status.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast, with recent opportunities from Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and the State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and Florida (Collier County). Madison Metropolitan School District released two RFBs in July 2026: RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases per week, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 servings weekly, 400-mile local sourcing, due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple varieties (due June 26, 2026). Bartow County School System released RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (400-mile sourcing requirement, due June 22, 2026, with award anticipated July 20, 2026). Early County Board of Education issued an RFB for 300+ food and non-food items including fresh produce (due June 8, 2026). The State of Georgia posted a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN 258360) for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, with a 10-point local-vendor preference). The code shows active procurement but with limited recent solicitations explicitly calling for the named commodity; most activity targets broader institutional fresh produce supply.
