UNSPSC 50523634: Non GMO muscat of alexandria grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO muscat of alexandria 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 50523634 Non GMO muscat of alexandria grapes is a Commodity code that describes a single fresh fruit variety, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the specific commodity. The recent opportunities in the block include general produce procurement (petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, fresh produce for school nutrition programs, and concession food services), but none specifically reference muscat of alexandria grapes or request GMO-status compliance as a line item. School districts, county boards of education, and regional health care coalitions are the primary issuing bodies, soliciting produce through RFBs, RFPs, and ITNs for school nutrition programs, park concessions, and institutional food service operations. Work typically involves delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables to designated locations on fixed schedules, compliance with HACCP plans and food-safety certifications, temperature-controlled transport, and adherence to domestic-sourcing preferences or local-radius requirements (often 400 miles) where specified.

The code shows recent activity across Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District requesting bids for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education seeking fresh produce covering over 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school locations); Bartow County School System requesting local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, proposals due June 22, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners soliciting food services for North Collier Regional Park including concession facilities (ITN 258360, proposals due March 6, 2025, with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points). The code shows no recent opportunities specifically requesting non-GMO muscat of alexandria grapes, suggesting limited current market activity under the narrow commodity definition.
