UNSPSC 50523643: Non GMO primitivo grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO primitivo 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 50523643 Non GMO Primitivo grapes, a Commodity code, represents fresh specialty fruit procurement by state and local food service operations, school districts, and healthcare coalitions. The recent opportunities posted under this code show that state and local governments actually buy general fresh produce and fruit across diverse venues rather than primitivo grapes specifically. The scope of work spans weekly or seasonal produce delivery to school cafeterias (weekly requirements ranging from 70–90 cases of bananas to 5,900 weekly servings of fresh fruit and vegetable snacks), county parks and recreation concession facilities, healthcare provider networks, and specialty produce sourcing within geographic limits (typically 400 miles of the purchasing location). State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Early County Schools), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). These entities emphasize vendor compliance with food-safety regulations, HACCP plans, domestic-sourcing and Buy American preferences where applicable, diverse-business certifications, and local-vendor preferences worth evaluation points in competitive scoring.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, plus State of Georgia statewide procurement) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with a Florida posting (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas at estimated annual value $78,000 (bids due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB spanning 200+ fresh-produce line items for 2026–27 (bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County Schools RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (proposals due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education line-by-line food bids including produce and milk (bids due June 8, 2026). School districts apply cost weighting of 40–50 percent, quality and sourcing compliance at 15–25 percent, vendor experience and references at 10–15 percent, and local or diverse-business status at 5–15 percent. Insurance minimums range from $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability. Contract terms typically span one school or fiscal year (July–June or September–June) with renewal or extension options.
