UNSPSC 50523505: Non GMO selma pete grapes

The variety of non GMO raisin grapes known as non GMO selma pete 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 50523505 Non GMO Selma Pete grapes is a Commodity code representing specialty fresh fruit procurement for state and local food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are sourcing fresh produce — primarily fruit and vegetable items — for school nutrition programs, parks and recreation facilities, healthcare coalitions, and other public food service venues. The code encompasses specific varieties and quality specifications tied to operational menus and procurement cycles. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County), healthcare coalitions, and state-level procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple jurisdictions issuing concurrent produce bids tied to the National School Lunch Program and school year cycles.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. Madison Metropolitan School District issued an RFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated annual value, bid due July 29, 2026) and a concurrent RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with a 400-mile Wisconsin-local sourcing requirement (approximately 5,900 servings weekly, bid due July 29, 2026).
