UNSPSC 50543401: Frozen non GMO alicante grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO alicante grapes that have been frozen for preservation. 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 50543401 Frozen non-GMO Alicante grapes (Commodity) represents a niche produce line within the broader food procurement activity that state and local governments conduct to support school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food operations. However, recent state and local opportunities do not show active solicitation of this specific product. The recent record shows Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia all posting food procurement RFQs and IFBs across 2026, but these solicitations span shelf-stable items (canned proteins, grains, sauces), fresh produce (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, specialty fruits), dairy, meats, and non-food supplies — with no mention of frozen Alicante grapes specifically. Hancock County's June 2026 fresh-produce bid included over 200 line items ranging across multiple apple and berry varieties, citrus, and specialty fruits delivered across school sites, but did not list frozen grapes as a line item.

The geographic concentration in recent activity centers on Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and the State of Georgia all posting between May and October 2026) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in June 2026). The issuing bodies are primarily school boards and state procurement offices supporting nutrition programs subject to Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, and National School Lunch Program requirements. Given the absence of frozen Alicante grapes in any posted opportunity and the focus of recent solicitations on fresh and shelf-stable staples rather than specialty frozen fruit, this code shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity.
