UNSPSC 50523500: Non GMO raisin grapes

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO raisin 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 50523500 Non GMO raisin grapes is a Class code that encompasses the procurement of fresh produce — particularly grapes and other fresh fruits and vegetables — by state and local institutions operating food service programs. State and local buyers under this code include county parks departments, school districts, county health care coalitions, and state procurement offices. The work solicited involves supplying fresh produce items meeting specified quality, delivery, and compliance standards. Food service vendors are typically required to meet food safety and health regulations, provide HACCP plans, maintain cold-chain logistics, and comply with Buy American provisions where applicable. School districts and county park systems frequently require produce sourced within defined geographic radii (commonly 400 miles) or from local suppliers and often impose organic or non-GMO specifications in evaluation criteria or pricing adjustments.

Recent activity under the code is concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued two separate RFBs in July 2026 — one for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and another for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, requiring 400-mile sourcing from within Wisconsin). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations (due June 26, 2026). Bartow County School System (Georgia) sought local fresh fruits and vegetables through RFP 10-2026-019 with sourcing within 400 miles and weighted evaluation emphasizing seasonal variety and local sourcing (RFP due June 22, 2026; contract start July 20, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN 258360) for food services at North Collier Regional Park, including fresh produce and food offerings across concession facilities (proposals due March 6, 2025). Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested comprehensive food bids including produce and dairy (due June 8, 2026). Marion Health Care Coalition (Ohio) solicited produce proposals for the 2026-2027 period (due August 21, 2026). Geographic concentration among Georgia school districts and recent activity in Wisconsin and Florida suggest sustained demand tied to school nutrition programs and seasonal park concession operations.
