UNSPSC 50523617: Non GMO gamay or napa grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO gamay (napa) 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 50523617 Non GMO Gamay or Napa grapes (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with this wine-varietal-specific code. The recent opportunities posted under this code describe fresh produce procurement—bananas, mixed vegetables, berries, stone fruits, and other fresh items for school nutrition programs, county parks, and healthcare food services—that do not match the narrow scope of non-GMO wine grapes. The mismatch suggests either a misclassification by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code captures a specialized agricultural input with minimal state and local government demand.

No representative opportunities targeting non-GMO Gamay or Napa grapes appear in the recent posting history. The produce solicitations active in the market—from Madison Metropolitan School District (petite bananas, RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026; fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Schools (fresh produce for 2026-27, IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), Bartow County School System (local fresh fruits and vegetables, RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education (food bid including produce, due June 8, 2026)—all target mass-market fresh fruits and vegetables for school meal programs rather than specialty wine-production inputs. Collier County's food-services concession ITN (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025) and Marion Health Care Coalition's produce procurement also focus on produce for dining and food service rather than viticulture. The code appears underutilized or incorrectly assigned in state and local practice.
