UNSPSC 50523660: Non GMO tocai friulano grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO tocai friulano 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 50523660 Non GMO tocai friulano grapes (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The most-recent opportunities block shows no grape procurement and instead contains exclusively fresh produce and food service solicitations from school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin—primarily whole fruits, vegetables, eggs, and beverage supply for K-12 school districts. The code's narrow commodity scope (non-GMO tocai friulano grapes specifically) bears no relationship to the broad institutional produce procurement documented in the recent opportunities. State and local school nutrition programs are the dominant issuing bodies, with repeat buyers including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bartow County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), and Austin Independent School District (Texas), alongside county boards of education and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Wisconsin. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (due June 26, 2026); Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026); Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for approximately 72 produce line items across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4–$5.5 million (due March 4, 2026); and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages (due March 11, 2026). The code shows minimal relevant recent procurement activity and appears misaligned with actual state and local buying patterns in this category.
