UNSPSC 50523611: Non GMO chardonnay grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO chardonnay 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 50523611 Non GMO chardonnay grapes, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains sixteen school nutrition solicitations, of which fifteen—covering petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, mixed produce for school lunch and breakfast programs, and specialty items for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program participation—fall within broader fresh produce procurement families; none target chardonnay grapes, GMO-free or otherwise. One Georgia state-level food, supplies, and kitchen products RFP (May 2026) provides no detail beyond its attachment, making assessment of scope impossible. The solicitation structure and timing (school nutrition contracts cycle July-to-June) suggest that fresh produce procurement in K-12 food service focuses on high-volume, commodity staples—apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, berries, leafy greens, and eggs—rather than wine-industry inputs or specialty agricultural varietals.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate the recent opportunities block, with multiple single-jurisdiction and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts, Hillsborough County Public Schools' 18-school Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, Muscogee County School District, and Liberty County Board of Education). Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District posted RFPs, RFBs, or ITBs between February and July 2026, with most response dates in April through June 2026. Geographic concentration in Georgia reflects both institutional purchasing volume and public solicitation visibility; secondary activity in Texas and Florida indicates a national market. Chardonnay grapes—a wine production input—fall outside the scope of school nutrition procurement entirely, and no evidence of state or local government buying under this commodity code appears in current public records.
