UNSPSC 50523632: Non GMO muscat blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO muscat blanc 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 50523632 Non GMO muscat blanc grapes is a Commodity code that nominally names a single varietal of table grapes, but the recent state and local procurement record shows little activity aligned with that specific product. The code's recent opportunities reflect instead a much broader procurement pattern: school districts across the United States are soliciting fresh produce — apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and eggs — to supply National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, and farm-to-school initiatives. The work being procured ranges from bulk commodity-style produce supplied on annual fixed-price contracts with line-item pricing to specialty items delivered in ready-to-eat or pre-cut form. The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs within independent school districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Florida, and Texas, with the largest identified opportunities spanning multiple districts through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative.

Geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and the Douglas County cooperative spanning 30 districts) with significant activity also in Texas (McAllen and Austin independent school districts) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 school districts requesting fresh produce and eggs with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026; the Bulloch County School District IFP for locally grown produce sourced within 200 miles, with proposals due May 4, 2026; the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB for petite bananas with weekly usage of 70–90 cases and estimated annual contract value of $78,000, due July 29, 2026; and the Liberty County Board of Education dual IFBs for produce and comprehensive food products, both due April 29, 2026. None of these solicitations name muscat blanc grapes or other specific grape varieties as the primary procurement target; the code appears to have been applied by procurement offices to broader fresh-produce aggregation categories without distinction to individual varietal sourcing.
