UNSPSC 50523503: Non GMO dovine grapes

The variety of non GMO raisin grapes known as non GMO dovine 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 50523503 Non-GMO dovine grapes is a Commodity code that represents a narrow produce item—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope. The code appears in state and local school nutrition procurement, but the actual solicitations name bananas, berries, apples, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, citrus, stone fruits, melons, and eggs as core line items, with no recent opportunities explicitly requesting dovine grapes or GMO status specifications. School districts, county boards of education, and one state purchasing office (Georgia) are the primary issuing bodies, all procuring produce for child nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program frameworks.

The geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with activity from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia, cooperative purchasing), and the State of Georgia. Recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (bids due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (bids due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal grant approval); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (bids due June 26, 2026, contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027); Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two (proposals due March 4, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity specifically for non-GMO dovine grapes; taggers appear to have applied a produce-family code to broader school nutrition solicitations without specificity to the narrow commodity.
