UNSPSC 50523609: Non GMO centurian grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO centurian 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 50523609 Non GMO Centurian grapes, a Commodity code, does not see recent direct solicitation activity under this specific code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve general produce procurement (fresh fruits and vegetables, petite bananas, and prepared fresh fruit and vegetable snacks) for school districts, county parks, and healthcare facilities, but none explicitly names Centurian grapes or non-GMO grape varieties as a line item or scope element. The solicitations instead focus on broader commodity categories — apples, berries, melons, citrus, and ready-to-eat produce — or single-item procurements (bananas) that do not align with specialty grape sourcing.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bartow County School System in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), a healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia food supplies). Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Florida and multi-state state-procurement channels. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), neither of which specifies grapes as a component. No current opportunities explicitly solicit non-GMO Centurian grapes by name or variety.
