UNSPSC 50523642: Non GMO pinot noir grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO pinot noir 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 50523642 Non GMO pinot noir grapes is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The single representative opportunity in the recent block—Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana solicitation (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026)—is explicitly for bananas, not pinot noir grapes, and represents a clear mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought. The remaining opportunities in the dataset span fresh produce, eggs, and beverage procurement across school nutrition programs in Georgia and Texas, but none target wine grapes, pinot noir varieties, or non-GMO varietal sourcing. The code does not appear in active use for state and local contracting at this time.

School nutrition programs dominate the recent opportunities block, with purchasing concentrated among Georgia school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, and Douglas County through the GEC Buying Cooperative) and Texas districts (McAllen, Austin). These districts solicit IFBs and RFPs for bulk fresh produce including apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, leafy greens, and eggs—institutional commodity items with weekly or scheduled deliveries to multiple school sites. Agricultural commodity sourcing under this code, where it appears in the dataset, focuses on domestically grown products meeting USDA specifications and Buy American requirements, with pricing benchmarked to USDA market reports. No recent solicitation names wine grapes, specialty vineyards, or non-GMO certification as procurement drivers. The code's nominal scope does not align with the school nutrition and institutional food service activity that characterizes recent state and local procurement under broader produce and food supply codes.
