UNSPSC 50523616: Non GMO french colombard grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO french colombard 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 50523616 Non GMO french colombard grapes is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—specialty wine grapes—does not align with the documented recent solicitations in the source block. Between February and July 2026, state and local buying bodies posted seventeen fresh produce contracts; none explicitly named or required french colombard grapes, Non-GMO or otherwise. The posted opportunities span school nutrition programs (the dominant buyer category), institutional food service, and farm-to-school initiatives across multiple states, with procurement focused on high-volume staple produce—bananas, apples, carrots, broccoli, berries, citrus, leafy greens, and prepared produce items—rather than specialty wine-grape varieties.
