UNSPSC 50523643: Non GMO primitivo grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO primitivo 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 50523643 Non-GMO Primitivo grapes (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for primitivo grapes or wine grapes of any kind; instead, the tagged opportunities consist entirely of fresh produce and food service procurements by school districts and state agencies, predominantly centered on bananas, apples, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and beverages for child nutrition programs. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the commodity as named.

State and local school districts and food service programs across Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida are actively procuring fresh produce for National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, but the focus is on commodity produce staples—apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, and leafy greens—sourced through RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs with response dates between late February and late July 2026. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items (due June 26, 2026), and a 30-district cooperative procurement through Douglas County School System for approximately $5.5 million in fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia regions (due March 4, 2026). The mismatch between the code definition and the solicitations it currently tags suggests either a cataloging error or dormant activity under this specific UNSPSC designation. Firms pursuing grape or wine-grape supply contracts with state and local entities should verify the correct code assignment before building pipeline activity.
