UNSPSC 50523501: Non GMO black corinth grapes

The variety of non GMO raisin grapes known as non GMO black corinth 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 50523501 Non GMO black corinth grapes, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity indexed to this code. The most recent opportunities tagged with this code are school nutrition procurements for fresh produce, bananas, and prepared fresh fruits and vegetables, none of which match the specific commodity (non-GMO black corinth grapes) that the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities show no activity specifically targeting black corinth grapes or any varietal grape procurement. Instead, school districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida are soliciting broadly for fresh produce bundles—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, and other staples—through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs. The Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin issued separate RFBs for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples and berries for the 2026-27 school year (IFB due June 26, 2026); and Bulloch County School District in Georgia sought 24 produce items grown within 200 miles of the district for its Farm to School program (RFP due May 4, 2026). The Douglas County School System in Georgia coordinated a cooperative procurement through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across two areas, spanning approximately 72 produce line items including apples, bananas, and berries, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for one region and $1.1 million for another (RFP due March 4, 2026). Solicitations are concentrated among school nutrition programs in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with smaller activity in Wisconsin and other states. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal commodity (non-GMO black corinth grapes) and the actual buying patterns (institutional bulk fresh produce in mixed-commodity bundles) suggests this code is either miscoded in the state and local system or represents a commodity line rarely or never purchased through these channels.
