UNSPSC 50523603: Non GMO burger grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO burger 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 50523603 Non GMO burger grapes is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product category, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect procurement of the product named in the code. Instead, the opportunities cover general fresh produce supply — petite bananas, fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition programs, mixed fresh produce for healthcare and park food services, and other fresh food items — without specific reference to non-GMO burger grapes or that product category. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System) and one county parks department (Collier County), alongside a healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition) and a statewide food-supply procurement by Georgia. School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple nutrition programs sourcing fresh produce through RFB and RFP processes.

Recent opportunities span Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Bartow County, and the State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County), with school nutrition procurement representing the bulk of posted activity. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana bid (RFB 4162, bids due July 29, 2026, projected annual value $78,000 for September 2026 through June 2027), the same district's fresh fruit and vegetable snacks bid (RFB 4163, July 29, 2026 deadline, requiring 400-mile sourcing within Wisconsin with USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grant funding contingency), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for 2026–27 (over 200 line items, sealed bids due June 26, 2026, delivery to three school sites), and Bartow County School System's local fresh fruit and vegetable RFP (proposals due June 22, 2026, requiring 400-mile local sourcing). The code shows little direct activity in the nominal product category; vendors evaluating this code should clarify whether the mismatch between code name and actual procurements reflects a data-labeling issue or market misalignment.
