UNSPSC 50523625: Non GMO malvasia bianca grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO malvasia bianca 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 50523625 Non GMO malvasia bianca grapes (Commodity) captures a narrow agricultural product line that state and local school districts are not actively procuring at present. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no actual solicitations for malvasia bianca grapes, GMO or non-GMO. Instead, the opportunities reflect school nutrition procurement for broad fresh produce categories — apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, melons, stone fruits, and specialty items — alongside eggs and beverages. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope (a single grape varietal with a non-GMO specification) and what is actually being bought (comprehensive produce baskets for institutional feeding) signals either a data-tagging error in the procurement systems or an absence of meaningful activity under the code itself.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin dominate the recent opportunities, with Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) among the active buyers. These jurisdictions issue RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs for food service — most recently Hancock County's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), Madison Metropolitan's RFB for petite bananas and fresh fruit snacks (due July 29, 2026), Bulloch County's IFP for 24 local produce items (due May 4, 2026), and the Douglas County cooperative RFP for 72 produce line items and eggs across 30 districts (due March 4, 2026, with estimated spend of $5.5 million combined). Contract values range widely, from $78,000 annually at Madison Metropolitan to $5.5 million across the Douglas County cooperative. If your firm supplies specialty grape varieties or can aggregate sourcing across multiple districts, monitor broader produce solicitations where individual line items may include grapes; pursuing the code as tagged would likely yield no relevant opportunities.
