UNSPSC 50523636: Non GMO nebbiolo grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO nebbiolo 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 50523636 Non GMO nebbiolo grapes is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope specifies non-GMO nebbiolo grapes — a specialized wine-grape varietal — yet the recent opportunities posted under it solicit petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, mixed fresh produce for school nutrition programs, and beverages. The mismatch between the code name and the actual goods being procured suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or a data quality issue in the source. None of the nine recorded opportunities from the past four months align with nebbiolo grapes or wine production.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, Douglas County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and Texas (McAllen Independent, Austin Independent). The solicitations are structured as RFBs, RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs for fresh produce procurement — bananas, berries, apples, vegetables, and eggs — to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program meal service and USDA-funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000), Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs to serve 30 school districts across Georgia (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined), and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages (due March 11, 2026). If your firm pursues fresh produce distribution to school nutrition programs, the code assignment is unreliable; monitor individual jurisdictional websites and cooperative purchasing platforms (GEC, regional buying cooperatives) directly for produce solicitations rather than relying on this code.
