UNSPSC 50523652: Non GMO semillon grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO semillon 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 50523652 Non-GMO Semillon Grapes is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name designates a single wine grape variety, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it solicitate fresh produce for school nutrition programs — bananas, apples, berries, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, leafy greens, peppers, citrus, eggs, and other commodity items for elementary through high school food service. None of the sourced solicitations target wine grapes, Semillon varieties specifically, or non-GMO certification as a procurement requirement. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement databases or an artifact of broad produce category tagging that does not reflect the actual commodity being purchased.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code across Georgia, Texas, and Florida. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root crops, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, specialty fruits) with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; Bartow County School System (Georgia) solicited local fresh fruits and vegetables via RFP with proposals due June 22, 2026; Bulloch County School District (Georgia) issued an IFP for 24 locally-grown produce items (watermelons, apples, persimmons, citrus, sweet potatoes, strawberries, potatoes, greens, broccoli, carrots, spinach, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, pears, Vidalia onions, whole grain flour, butter beans) with sealed proposals due May 4, 2026; Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) issued parallel IFBs for produce and food products due April 29, 2026; Muscogee County School District (Georgia) solicited approximately 60 produce line items via ITB with bids due April 27, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) issued Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items due April 23, 2026; Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia) released IFB 27-02 for fresh produce with bids due April 14, 2026; McAllen Independent School District (Texas) issued RFP 2026-1029 for fresh produce due March 6, 2026; Austin Independent School District (Texas) posted RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and a la carte beverages due March 11, 2026; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) released RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts across two regions with proposals due March 4, 2026. The code exhibits no relevant recent activity for its stated commodity and should not be relied upon for wine grape procurement targeting or opportunity identification.
