UNSPSC 50523641: Non GMO pinot gris grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO pinot gris 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 50523641 Non GMO pinot gris grapes is a Commodity code with minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name specifies a single varietal wine grape, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code solicit fresh produce for school nutrition programs—bananas, apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, and prepared produce items—with no mention of pinot gris grapes or wine production. School districts across Georgia, Texas, and Florida represent the primary issuing bodies, posting RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs for comprehensive fresh-produce supply contracts serving elementary through high school populations under the USDA National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs and the federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program.

The geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Glynn County Schools, and Douglas County Schools cooperative), with secondary solicitations from Texas (McAllen Independent School District and Austin Independent School District) and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District Food & Nutrition Department (RFB 4162) requesting petite bananas due July 29, 2026 with estimated annual contract value of $78,000 and weekly delivery to a single facility; Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004) through the GEC Buying Cooperative soliciting fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026; and Hillsborough County Public Schools (RFP 26039RFPDST) seeking specialty fruits and vegetables for 18 elementary schools participating in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with estimated annual budget of $600,000, proposals due March 11, 2026. The code shows no recent activity aligned with wine grape procurement and does not represent a meaningful category for business development in state and local markets.
