UNSPSC 50523614: Non GMO dolcetto grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO dolcetto 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 50523614 Non GMO dolcetto grapes is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities tagged to it concern fresh produce supply more broadly — bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, and general food service — rather than dolcetto grapes specifically. The recent solicitations span school districts, county parks departments, and a health care coalition sourcing fresh produce for food service operations, meal programs, and concessions. When school districts and county agencies do procure fresh fruits and vegetables, they typically buy through broad RFQ, RFB, or ITN processes that specify case sizes, delivery schedules, quality standards (ripeness, temperature, fill rates), HACCP compliance, and liability insurance; many now add locational preferences (produce sourced within 400 miles) and organic pricing discounts. The mismatch between the narrow code definition and the generalized produce procurement underway suggests that dolcetto grapes, if purchased at all under this code by state and local bodies, are sourced as part of larger fresh-fruit contracts rather than as a standalone line item.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated among Georgia school districts and Wisconsin school districts, with one Collier County, Florida parks department procurement and one Marion Health Care Coalition opportunity. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin has posted two separate RFBs — one for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and one for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, contingent on Federal grant funding). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia is bidding fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, and specialty fruits. Bartow County School System in Georgia is seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting food services via ITN for North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, though the posting date of October 8, 2026 suggests a date error in the source). None of these solicitations name dolcetto grapes or premium wine-grape varieties as line items; vendors pursuing this Commodity code should expect to compete within larger fresh-produce aggregations or work directly with premium food service operations outside typical state and local RFB cycles.
