UNSPSC 50543404: Frozen non GMO autumn king grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO autumn king 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 50543404 Frozen non-GMO autumn king grapes (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being procured under this code in recent state and local opportunities. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span comprehensive school nutrition procurement — fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, meats, dairy, and pantry items — rather than a narrowly defined single frozen-grape product line. The code sees activity from school districts and municipal purchasing offices managing annual contracts for child nutrition services under federal National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements.

Recent opportunities issued by the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all procure across dozens or hundreds of line items — not individual products. The Bridgeport IFB for grocery items (solicitation BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spans over 1,100 line items including frozen products, produce, dairy, meats, and condiments, with delivery to a central warehouse and school sites.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri.
