UNSPSC 50523664: Non GMO white riesling grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO white riesling 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 50523664 Non GMO white riesling grapes is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code—including food services at a regional park, produce delivery to a health care coalition, petite bananas for a school district, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for schools, fresh produce for school nutrition programs, generic kitchen products for the State of Georgia, and line-item food bids for school lunch and breakfast programs—do not include solicitations for white riesling grapes, whether GMO or non-GMO. The opportunities span general produce procurement (bananas, fresh fruits and vegetables, apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, melons, and leafy greens) and broad food service categories, but none reference wine grapes or specialty viticulture commodities.

Issuers pursuing produce under related codes include county parks and recreation divisions, school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County), regional health care coalitions, and state departments of education. Geographically, the recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Early County, and the State of Georgia procurement office), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan), and Florida (Collier County). The absence of white riesling grape solicitations across this issuing-body and geographic mix, combined with the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the produce categories actually being procured, signals that this Commodity code does not represent an active procurement opportunity for grape suppliers at the state and local level in the current cycle.
