UNSPSC 50523610: Non GMO charbono grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO charbono 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 50523610 Non GMO charbono grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not involve charbono grapes or wine grapes of any kind. The opportunities record shows school nutrition programs across multiple states soliciting fresh produce, bananas, beverages, and eggs—commodity categories wholly unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity is systematic and suggests either upstream classification error or use of a catch-all code by participating jurisdictions.

School districts in Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin dominate the recent opportunities. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) posted two solicitations in July 2026 for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB in June 2026 for over 200 produce line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty items for delivery to three school sites. Bulloch County School District (Georgia) solicited local produce under an RFP due May 4, 2026, targeting 24 items grown within 200 miles. Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for approximately 60 produce line items due April 14, 2026. Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) issued two separate IFBs in March 2026—one for produce and one for comprehensive food products—both due April 29, 2026. Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) solicited bids on 72 fresh produce items due April 23, 2026. Muscogee County School District (Georgia) posted an ITB for approximately 60 produce line items due April 27, 2026. Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across two regions with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million, due March 4, 2026. McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) rounded out the mix with RFPs for fresh produce and beverages spanning February through March 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity and appears to be a classification artifact rather than a live procurement category for this commodity family.
