UNSPSC 50523628: Non GMO merlot grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO merlot 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 50523628 Non GMO merlot grapes is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The seven most recent opportunities tagged under this code—from Collier County Parks and Recreation (food services), Marion Health Care Coalition (produce), Madison Metropolitan School District (bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks), Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce), Bartow County School System (local fresh fruits and vegetables), the State of Georgia (food, supplies, and kitchen products), and Early County Board of Education (food and non-food products)—span general fresh produce procurement across school nutrition programs, park concessions, healthcare facilities, and state purchasing, but none specifically names or targets merlot grapes of any provenance. The recent solicitations emphasize diverse fresh vegetables, berries, melons, citrus, apples, and bananas in large quantity for school meals and food service operations; specialty wine grapes do not appear.

School districts in Georgia and Wisconsin dominate the recent activity, with smaller volumes from county parks, a health care coalition, and a state-level food-service procurement. Geographic spread includes Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), Wisconsin (Madison), and Florida (Collier County), with Georgia appearing most frequently. The code shows no evidence of recent state or local demand for non-GMO merlot grapes specifically, and the tagged opportunities reflect standard meal-service and food-supply procurement rather than specialty viticulture inputs. Pursue other UNSPSC codes if targeting wine, grape, or agricultural-input opportunities in state and local markets.
