UNSPSC 50523610: Non GMO charbono grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO charbono 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 50523610 Non GMO charbono grapes is a Commodity code that represents fresh produce procurement for institutional food service and school nutrition programs, though the recent opportunities documented here show no direct solicitations for the nominal product and instead track broader fresh fruit and vegetable bidding across school districts, county parks, and healthcare entities. State and local buyers under this code span school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), specialized health-service districts (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia). The work encompasses fresh produce procurement for school breakfast and lunch programs, park concession operations, and healthcare food service, with vendors typically required to meet food safety compliance, traceability documentation, HACCP plans, and delivery schedules tied to operational demand. School districts dominate the activity, each issuing separate line-item produce bids for multi-month or full-year contract periods.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Midwest, with documented activity from Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Collier County, Marion Health Care Coalition). Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks (due July 29, 2026), which required produce sourced within 400 miles of Madison and delivered in ready-to-eat form with farm-of-origin traceability; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, and specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026); and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 22, 2026, with contract award anticipated July 20, 2026). Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025) included beverage and food concession operations with a 10-point local-vendor preference. School district bids typically weight cost at 40 percent, apply geographic sourcing preferences worth 15–20 points, require diverse-business certifications and references, and mandate commercial liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1 million.
