UNSPSC 50523647: Non GMO ruby cabernet grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO ruby cabernet 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 50523647 Non GMO ruby cabernet grapes is a Commodity code covering fresh fruit procurement by state and local food-service operators, but the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct activity under this code. State and local governments purchasing fresh produce for food service — school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and regional school nutrition programs — do solicit fresh fruit and vegetable contracts regularly, but those solicitations typically aggregate produce broadly rather than specifying varietal wine grapes. The opportunities recorded here encompass petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, apples across multiple varieties, berries, citrus, and specialty produce, but no recent posting explicitly names non-GMO ruby cabernet grapes or wine-grape procurement. School districts including Madison Metropolitan School District and Early County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, and Bartow County School System in Georgia have posted fresh-produce RFBs and RFPs; county parks operations and healthcare coalitions have also solicited produce vendors. These jurisdictions typically evaluate cost heavily (40%), vendor qualifications and service capability (15–20%), diverse-owned business status (5–10%), and local-sourcing or geographic preferences where applicable (10–15%).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County school systems) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), with one activity in Florida (Collier County parks). State-level procurement also appears — the State of Georgia posted a broad food, supplies, and kitchen-products bid in May 2026. School nutrition programs dominate the mix, followed by county parks operations and healthcare coalitions. The solicitations emphasize HACCP compliance, E-Verify authorization, insurance requirements ($500,000 to $1 million general liability), Buy American provisions, and local-sourcing filters where budget or grant structure permits. Response dates cluster in June through July 2026. The code shows no recent competitive opportunities specifically for wine-grape varietal procurement; state and local governments appear not to be active buyers of non-GMO ruby cabernet grapes under current solicitation activity.
