UNSPSC 50523644: Non GMO roussanne grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO roussanne 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 50523644 Non-GMO roussanne grapes is a Commodity code that describes specialty wine-grape procurement, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a categorical mismatch: the source shows no solicitations for roussanne grapes, GMO-status produce, or wine-industry inputs. Instead, the tagged opportunities document school district and county board of education procurements for fresh produce—predominantly fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs for child nutrition programs serving National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program participants. The work being solicited is institutional fresh-produce supply and delivery: weekly or bi-weekly delivery of apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, and specialty items to school cafeterias and food-service warehouses across multiple campuses and school sites, with strict compliance to USDA standards, HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, and food-safety documentation. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with significant activity concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Bartow County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Schools, and Douglas County Schools) and activity also present in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Texas (McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District). Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000 for single-unit cases delivered Monday through Friday between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus, with bid opening June 29, 2026; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million, proposals due March 4, 2026.
