UNSPSC 50523491: Non GMO superior seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO superior seedless 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 50523491 Non GMO superior seedless grapes is a Commodity code covering fresh fruit procurement by state and local government buyers, though recent solicitations show minimal activity specifically targeting this product line. The code encompasses fresh produce supply agreements where state and local agencies—primarily school districts, county parks departments, and health-care coalitions—source fruits and vegetables for food-service operations, student nutrition programs, and public facilities. When fresh-produce solicitations do arise under this family of codes, they typically bundle grapes with broader fresh-fruit and vegetable categories or appear as standalone items within comprehensive produce bids rather than as dedicated single-commodity procurements.

Recent activity shows school districts and county agencies across Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida issuing produce-related solicitations through IFB, RFP, and ITN vehicles, but grapes specifically appear absent from named line items in the available opportunities. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFBs for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, citrus, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year (due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System sought local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles via RFP 10-2026-019 (due June 22, 2026); and Collier County Parks and Recreation issued an ITN for food-service concessions at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025). The absence of grapes from itemized bid lists despite the code's nominal focus suggests that when purchased under this commodity code, grapes may be bundled within broader fruit categories, sourced through regional cooperative-purchasing agreements, or procured infrequently enough that recent solicitations do not isolate the line item. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor school-district and parks-department RFBs and IFBs in the Southeast and Upper Midwest for fresh-produce category expansions.
