UNSPSC 50523627: Non GMO mataro grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO mataro 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 50523627 Non GMO mataro grapes is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure fresh produce for school nutrition programs, regional parks, healthcare facilities, and other public food services. The recent solicitations show a broader pattern: school districts, county parks departments, and health coalitions are sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables — including grapes, bananas, berries, leafy greens, and specialty items — as components of larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity line items. The code itself names a specific variety, but state and local procurement activity under it appears embedded in multi-item produce bids where grape sourcing (when present) is one line among dozens of fresh produce offerings, often with quality, delivery, food-safety, and local-sourcing requirements. Issuing bodies include school districts, county boards of education, regional park authorities, and healthcare coalitions.
