UNSPSC 50523663: Non GMO viognier grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO viognier 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 50523663 Non GMO Viognier Grapes, a Commodity code, nominally identifies a specific agricultural product — non-GMO viognier wine grapes — but shows no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with that specification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span general food service and school nutrition procurement, including regional park concessions, healthcare-facility produce, school-district fresh fruit and vegetable programs, and broad food-supply contracts. None of the opportunities explicitly solicit viognier grapes or any wine-grape variety; the mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the actual work being procured suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local notice systems or that recent fruit-and-vegetable solicitations are being tagged at the commodity level without regard for specificity.

The issuing bodies span county parks and recreation (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education), a regional health-care coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition), and a state procurement office (State of Georgia). Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast — Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, State of Georgia), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and Florida (Collier County) — with solicitation activity in May through August 2026. Representative recent work includes Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (RFQ) for the 2026-27 school year due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fresh fruit and vegetables with delivery to three school sites; Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, due June 22, 2026; and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly at an estimated annual contract value of $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (approximately 5,900 weekly servings, sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin), both due July 29, 2026. The source does not support recent activity specifically for viognier grapes or wine-grape procurement under this code.
