UNSPSC 50523659: Non GMO teroldego grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO teroldego 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 50523659 Non GMO teroldego grapes, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single grape variety, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for teroldego grapes or any variety-specific grape purchases. Instead, the block records seventeen school district and school system food service procurements posted between February and July 2026, all targeting broad fresh produce and food supply contracts that name apples, bananas, berries, carrots, and other staples in bulk quantities—none isolating teroldego grapes as a line item or procurement objective. A single opportunity from Madison Metropolitan School District (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) solicits petite bananas; another from the same district (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026) requests fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison. The remaining opportunities—from Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bartow County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia cooperative purchase spanning 30 districts)—all seek comprehensive fresh produce mixes, egg procurement, and beverage supply, with evaluation criteria weighted heavily toward cost, vendor experience, product quality, and delivery reliability.

The issuing bodies are exclusively school districts and school systems procuring for child nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with secondary participation in USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grants. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with a single Wisconsin opportunity from Madison. No opportunities name teroldego grapes as a specification, ingredient, or preference. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests that this Commodity code does not align with current state and local buying patterns for table grape varieties. Vendors pursuing this code should verify directly with issuing bodies whether variety-specific grape sourcing occurs outside formal solicitation channels or whether broader fresh produce contracts include specialty grape line items on a discretionary basis.
