UNSPSC 50523488: Non GMO sultana sun red grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO sultana sun red 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 50523488 Non GMO sultana sun red grapes, a Commodity code, describes fresh grape products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and county recreation food services. The recent opportunities in the dataset show that this code rarely appears as a standalone line item; instead, grapes are absorbed into broader fresh produce solicitations issued by school districts and county food services. The code's narrow product specification—non-GMO sultana sun-red varieties—reflects procurement language found in detailed food-service RFBs and RFPs, but actual purchasing activity under the specific commodity remains sparse in the recent record. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under broader produce categories include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Early County, Hancock County), county parks departments (Collier County), health care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state agriculture purchasing offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, reflecting child nutrition program requirements.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Upper Midwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and Florida (Collier County). The representative opportunities show that fresh produce procurement typically bundles dozens to hundreds of line items under single RFBs or RFPs rather than isolating individual grape varieties. Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks (due July 29, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) exemplify the typical structure: vendors respond to itemized lists spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and citrus, with no dedicated line-item visibility for sultana grapes. Similarly, Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid (due June 8, 2026) and Bartow County School System's local-sourcing RFP (due June 22, 2026) call for broad seasonal vegetable and fruit assortments. No recent solicitation explicitly names non-GMO sultana sun-red grapes as a discrete procurement line, indicating that if this code is being used, it is embedded in larger aggregated produce contracts where individual grape varieties are specified in attachment schedules rather than highlighted in notice summaries.
