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, based on recent state and local opportunities, shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass food services contracting at regional parks, general produce procurement for healthcare coalitions, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for school districts, petite bananas for school nutrition programs, and line-by-line food bids covering meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, and miscellaneous food products. None of the five opportunities in the source explicitly reference pinot noir grapes, non-GMO produce specifications, or wine-related procurement. The issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), a healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and a state agency (State of Georgia). The geographic spread includes activity in Florida, Wisconsin, Georgia, and implied multi-state coverage in the State of Georgia procurement.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. The opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 50523642 represent general food service and produce procurement rather than specialty wine-grape sourcing, suggesting either a misclassification in the state and local procurement databases or category management drift. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits, due June 26, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, estimated annual value $78,000, due July 29, 2026), and Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026). A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for pinot noir grape procurement and verify the correct commodity classification if pursuing wine-related or specialty agricultural opportunities in state and local markets.
