UNSPSC 50523635: Non GMO muscat orange grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO muscat orange 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 50523635 Non GMO muscat orange grapes is a Commodity code that names a specific fresh fruit product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not center on muscat grapes. Instead, the solicitations tagged to this code cover a broad spectrum of fresh produce and food services — from school district fruit and vegetable snack programs to regional park concessions to health-care coalition produce procurement. The work being bought includes weekly fresh fruit and vegetable delivery for school breakfast and lunch programs, ready-to-eat processed fruit and vegetable snacks for elementary students, fresh produce for institutional food service, and specialized items such as petite bananas and locally sourced seasonal produce. State and local issuers include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation divisions (Collier County), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level procurement offices (State of Georgia). Geographic concentration spans Georgia (multiple school districts and the state procurement office) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with activity also in Florida (Collier County).

Recent representative opportunities illustrate the scope: Madison Metropolitan School District issued an IFB for petite bananas (RFB 4162, bids due July 29, 2026) projecting annual spend of $78,000 for 70–90 cases weekly during the school year, with delivery to a production center between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. on defined days; the same district also bid fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for its USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (RFB 4163, bids due July 29, 2026), requiring approximately 5,900 servings weekly sourced within 400 miles of Madison and delivered in ready-to-eat form with farm-of-origin traceability. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (IFB #SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026) spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school locations under a July 2026–June 2027 contract term. Bartow County School System sought a local fresh fruit and vegetable supplier (RFP 10-2026-019, proposals due June 22, 2026) emphasizing seasonal availability and sourcing from farms within 400 miles. Collier County Parks and Recreation issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, proposals due March 6, 2025) requiring concession food vendors to provide diverse beverage and food options across multiple facilities. Geographic and seasonal preferences, local-vendor preferences worth evaluation points, and traceability and farm-of-origin documentation are common procurement signals across these opportunities.
