UNSPSC 50523605: Non GMO cabernet sauvignon grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO cabernet sauvignon 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 50523605 Non GMO cabernet sauvignon grapes, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes specialty wine-grape varieties, but state and local procurement solicitations under this code overwhelmingly target fresh produce for school nutrition programs—bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, and eggs—bearing no substantive connection to cabernet sauvignon grapes, organic or otherwise. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at source or that this particular commodity descriptor does not align with actual buying patterns in the state and local market.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Florida, and Texas are the primary issuing bodies driving activity, with secondary participation from state agencies and independent school districts. Recent opportunities span Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) soliciting petite bananas and fresh fruit-and-vegetable snacks under RFBs due July 29, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing an IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items with bids due June 26, 2026; Bartow County School System (Georgia) requesting local fresh fruits and vegetables via RFP due June 22, 2026; and the Douglas County School System (Georgia) procuring produce and eggs for 30 districts through a cooperative purchasing vehicle with proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated at $5.5 million annual spend. A broader geographic pattern emerges across Georgia school districts (Bulloch, Liberty, Muscogee, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn counties) and Texas independent school districts (McAllen, Austin), where school nutrition programs consistently procure institutional-scale fresh produce, eggs, and commodity staples. The code does not support actionable focus on the named specialty commodity.
