UNSPSC 50523608: Non GMO catarratto grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO catarratto 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 50523608 Non GMO catarratto grapes, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains sixteen recent solicitations, all posted between February and July 2026, but none match the code's scope. The opportunities listed span fresh produce and food service procurement—including bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and comprehensive school nutrition supplies—but none identify catarratto grapes, varietal-specific grape procurement, or non-GMO grape sourcing as a line item or contract focus. One opportunity (Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162, posted July 8, 2026, due July 29, 2026) solicited petite bananas under a different commodity classification; another (Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST, posted April 13, 2026, due March 11, 2026) sought specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program but did not name catarratto grapes among the required items. The code appears inactive in current state and local procurement pipelines.

The recent activity in the broader fresh produce category centers on school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin, where districts solicit mixed fruit and vegetable bundles, bananas, apples, berries, and seasonal produce through RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Douglas County via the GEC Buying Cooperative), the State of Georgia, and Hillsborough County Public Schools. None of the opportunities signal demand for varietal-specific or non-GMO grape procurement, making this code a low-activity segment unlikely to support current business development efforts in state and local procurement.
