UNSPSC 50523622: Non GMO lagrein grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO lagrein 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 50523622 Non GMO lagrein grapes is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned with its stated scope. The code's nominal description identifies a specific wine grape varietal, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit fresh produce for school nutrition programs — bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and commodity produce items for child nutrition and institutional feeding rather than specialty wine grapes. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being bought suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or a significant scope drift in how the code is being applied.

The most recent opportunities under this code span school districts across Georgia and Texas, including Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District. These entities are soliciting fresh produce through RFBs, RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs with response dates ranging from late March through late July 2026. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026, contingent on federal USDA grant funding); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables (due June 26, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spending $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two). The geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Georgia school districts, with additional recent activity in Texas and Wisconsin. If your firm pursues work under this code, verify the correct UNSPSC classification before bid preparation — the current code designation does not reflect institutional fresh produce procurement.
