UNSPSC 50523496: Non GMO zante current grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO zante current 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 50523496 Non GMO Zante Current Grapes is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh dried-fruit procurement, particularly dried grape products sourced to non-GMO specifications. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts and food service operations that serve meals to students and the public. Recent solicitations show school districts sourcing fresh produce and food items for cafeteria operations, food service vendors managing concession facilities at regional parks, and health-care coalitions procuring fresh produce for meal programs. The scope spans commodity food purchasing tied to federal nutrition programs (USDA National School Lunch Program, USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program) and institutional food service contracts, where produce sourcing—including dried fruits—is a line-item component of larger food-supply bids.

The most recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin school districts, with additional procurement by Collier County (Florida) parks and recreation and Marion Health Care Coalition. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning the 2026–27 school year with over 200 line items and delivery to three school locations (sealed bids due June 26, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks requiring Wisconsin sourcing within 400 miles and weekly delivery of 5,900 servings for elementary students (bids due July 29, 2026); Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles and delivered to the central warehouse on a flexible monthly basis (proposals due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid encompassing approximately 300+ food items including fruits and vegetables for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (bids due June 8, 2026). The code shows no distinct activity in non-GMO dried grapes specifically; recent solicitations focus on fresh-produce procurement rather than dried-fruit commodity items.
