UNSPSC 50523637: Non GMO palomino grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO palomino 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 50523637 Non GMO palomino grapes, a Commodity code, shows no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code describe school nutrition purchases for bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, apples, berries, stone fruits, citrus, leafy greens, and comprehensive produce assortments across Georgia, Texas, and Florida school districts—none of which involve palomino grapes specifically or grapes of any variety at scale. One opportunity (Hancock County Schools IFB #SN002-2027) mentions grapes within a 200+ line-item produce list, but the focus is on red and green seedless grapes, not palomino grapes, and that notice is incidental to a broad fresh-produce solicitation. The code appears to be a misclassification or editorial artifact; the actual procurement activity does not track palomino-grape demand.

School nutrition programs across state and local jurisdictions in Georgia, Texas, and Florida are actively soliciting fresh produce through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs—but the spend is concentrated on commodity fruits and vegetables (bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes) with estimated annual contract values ranging from $78,000 (Madison Metropolitan School District petite bananas, due July 29, 2026) to $4.4 million (Douglas County School System cooperative buying for 18 school districts, due March 4, 2026). No buyer in the recent opportunities block is procuring palomino grapes, and no evidence supports this code as an active procurement category in current state or local food-service markets.
