UNSPSC 50523492: Non GMO thompson seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO thompson 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 50523492 Non GMO Thompson seedless grapes is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local opportunities, maps poorly to actual procurement activity. The source includes no recent solicitations specifically for grapes or any grape varieties. The recent opportunities block contains 16 school district and state-level produce procurement records across Georgia, Florida, and Texas dated between February and July 2026, covering fresh produce, eggs, fruits and vegetables, and general food service supplies for school nutrition programs. None of these solicitations name grapes as a line item, and the UNSPSC code's nominal scope—non-GMO Thompson seedless grapes—does not align with the broad fresh-produce and mixed-food-service categories actually being tagged under this code in practice. The code shows no relevant recent activity.

State and local school nutrition programs, the primary issuing bodies in the dataset, procure fresh produce through RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs, but the opportunities documented here target comprehensive produce portfolios—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, carrots, peppers, and eggs—rather than individual grape varieties. Districts including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Bulloch County School District, and Liberty County Board of Education all conduct annual produce procurement, yet none isolate grapes as a standalone commodity requiring dedicated procurement under this code. The mismatch between the code's specificity and the generalized produce sourcing activity suggests either miscoding of opportunities at the commodity level or minimal market activity for non-GMO Thompson seedless grapes as a standalone contracted item in state and local food service.
