UNSPSC 50523646: Non GMO rubired grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO rubired 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 50523646 Non GMO Rubired Grapes, a Commodity code, names a specific produce item that state and local governments buy as part of broader fresh-produce procurement for food service operations, school nutrition programs, and institutional dining. The recent solicitations in the dataset show little activity specifically tagged to this code; instead, state and local buyers are soliciting produce under broader categories that include fresh fruits and vegetables as line items within larger scopes covering meats, dairy, condiments, and non-food supplies. School districts and county parks departments dominate the issuing-body mix, with a smaller number of healthcare and nutrition coalitions also buying produce. When this Commodity code does surface, it represents a single line item within a multi-vendor or consolidated procurement rather than the focus of a standalone opportunity.

The geographic spread of recent produce procurement spans Georgia (Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Illinois (Marion Health Care Coalition). Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, over 200 line items covering apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits, sealed bids due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables (RFP 10-2026-019, proposals due June 22, 2026, sourcing within 400 miles), and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025). Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with renewal options, prices remain firm for the contract term subject to periodic escalation review against USDA indices, and delivery to school nutrition centers or parks facilities occurs multiple times per week with strict temperature and quality-assurance requirements.
