UNSPSC 50523618: Non GMO gamay beaujolais grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO gamay beaujolais 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 50523618 Non GMO gamay beaujolais grapes, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty wine-grape procurement—does not align with the actual work being solicited under this taxonomy entry. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve fresh produce supply for school nutrition programs, including bananas, fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and beverage service—commodities wholly unrelated to gamay beaujolais or viticulture inputs. State and local purchasing offices across Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin have posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for institutional food service, but none specifically target wine grapes or specialty grape varieties for vinification or beverage production.

The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and actual procurement usage suggests either a data-entry error in the source material or a significant indexing problem within the state and local UNSPSC taxonomy. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and verify the correct commodity classification for any produce-related food-service opportunity they intend to pursue.
