UNSPSC 50523494: Non GMO waltman cross grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO waltman cross 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 50523494 Non-GMO Waltman cross grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect produce sourcing aligned with the code's nominal scope. Instead, the most recent solicitations tag fresh-produce procurement broadly — bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and seasonal produce — under varied UNSPSC assignments that do not consistently match the Waltman-grape specification. The code shows no concrete recent activity for Waltman cross grapes or any grape variety specifically; the single entry naming grapes (a seedless-grape unit count in the Glynn County produce bid) appears incidental to a comprehensive multi-item procurement and carries no indication that grapes anchor buying patterns in this tier.

School districts and county boards of education are the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations concentrated in Georgia (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Douglas County), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), and Florida (Hillsborough County), plus a single state-level Georgia food-supplies RFP. Recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026), Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce with sealed bids due April 14, 2026, and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across Georgia with approximately $5.5 million in combined annual spending. The code itself does not support sufficient Waltman-grape–specific procurement activity to characterize pursuit strategy; business development professionals should verify sourcing patterns directly with district nutrition directors or evaluate broader fresh-produce family and class codes if grape supply is a business objective.
