UNSPSC 50523612: Non GMO chenin blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO chenin blanc 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 50523612 Non GMO chenin blanc grapes is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single wine-grape varietal. However, recent state and local solicitations show minimal alignment with this specific code; the opportunities posted under it span general fresh produce procurement, school nutrition food service, and park concession operations rather than specialized viticulture or grape supply. State and local governments are buying fresh fruits and vegetables across broad categories—bananas, mixed produce, berries, citrus, root vegetables, and other commodity items—through food-service and nutrition programs rather than wine-production supply chains. The issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bartow County School System), county government (Collier County), a healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), the State of Georgia, and a regional park authority. These are primarily education and nutrition-oriented procurement activities focused on federally supported child nutrition programs rather than agricultural commodity speculation or wine-industry supply.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, with recent solicitations from Hancock County, Early County, and Bartow County school systems, alongside opportunities in Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District) and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, limited to 400-mile sourcing and Wisconsin vendors), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026, spanning 200+ line items including apples, berries, and vegetables), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables (proposals due June 22, 2026, requiring 400-mile local sourcing), and Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (proposals due March 6, 2025, with local-vendor preference). The code shows no recent activity specific to non-GMO chenin blanc grapes or wine-grape procurement from state and local entities.
