UNSPSC 50523650: Non GMO sauvignon blanc grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO sauvignon blanc 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 50523650 Non GMO sauvignon blanc grapes is a Commodity code that currently shows no relevant recent procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty wine-grape varieties—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities recorded under this classification. Instead, the posted solicitations document activity in fresh produce and food service supply to school nutrition programs, including petite bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and beverages for elementary through high school consumption. None of the nine recent opportunities mention sauvignon blanc grapes, wine grapes, or any viticulture-related procurement. The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual buying activity suggests either a data classification error or dormant procurement volume under this specific code.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, and Florida dominate the recent opportunities, issuing RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for annual fresh-produce contracts that emphasize domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, and local or regional supplier preference where cost and quality align. Representative recent activity includes the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 (petite bananas, due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual contract value of $78,000), Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFQDST (Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program specialty fruits and vegetables for 18 elementary schools at an estimated annual budget of $600,000), the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in two geographic areas, estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two), and the Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 (fresh produce and a la carte beverages across all AISD Food Service locations). If sauvignon blanc grapes or other viticulture products are procurement targets, they are not appearing in current state and local solicitations; vendors should verify code assignment with the purchasing jurisdiction or monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles and school nutrition program RFPs for any produce categories that may include specialty or wine-varietal crops.
