UNSPSC 50523631: Non GMO montepulciano grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO montepulciano 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 50523631 Non GMO montepulciano grapes is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty wine-grape sourcing, but recent state and local opportunities under this code show no activity related to montepulciano grapes or wine-grape procurement. The seven most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code span fresh produce (bananas, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, citrus), ready-to-eat fruit and vegetable snacks for school nutrition programs, fresh fruits and vegetables for school meal service, and general food-service concession operations at county parks and recreation facilities. None of these opportunities specify or reference montepulciano grapes, non-GMO wine grapes, or viticulture inputs. The issuing bodies are school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), county governments (Collier County), a regional health-care coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and the State of Georgia. The code shows little relevant activity for actual montepulciano grape supply.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin, with the most recent and largest school nutrition RFBs posted from Hancock County Schools (June 2026), Bartow County Schools (May 2026), and Early County Schools (May 2026), and two concurrent RFBs from Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin (July 2026). Collier County, Florida posted a food-services ITN for park concessions (due March 6, 2025), and Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce RFP with an August 21, 2026 due date. The procurement volume under this code is driven by school lunch programs and institutional food service, not agricultural commodity sourcing. Vendors pursuing activity coded to 50523631 should verify with issuing bodies that this code accurately reflects their actual requirements before investing RFP response resources.
