UNSPSC 50523601: Non GMO alicante bouschet grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO alicante bouschet 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 50523601 Non GMO alicante bouschet grapes (Commodity) sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty wine grapes—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code. State and local governments are instead soliciting fresh produce broadly (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, bananas, and mixed fruits and vegetables) for school nutrition programs, parks concessions, and health-care food service, but none of the recent postings specify alicante bouschet grapes or any wine-grape varieties. The opportunities show demand from school districts, county parks departments, and health-care coalitions, but these buyers are purchasing commodity fresh produce for meal service, not specialty agricultural inputs.

Recent opportunities span Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with one posting from Marion Health Care Coalition and another from Collier County in Florida. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, annual value $78,000, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items across apples, berries, root vegetables, and citrus (due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026). All awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. This code appears inactive for its intended commodity and should be monitored only if your firm supplies commodity fresh produce to school districts or municipal food-service operations, not specialty wine grapes.
