UNSPSC 50543409: Frozen non GMO beauty seedless grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO beauty seedless 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 50543409 Frozen non-GMO beauty seedless grapes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little direct activity in frozen grapes specifically. The code's abstract name does not align with the solicitations appearing in the recent pipeline, which focus on broad food procurement for school nutrition programs and county social services rather than specialty frozen produce items. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year under IFB covering apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, and leafy greens (due June 26, 2026). The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases bid over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, including frozen products subject to Buy American provisions and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act standards (due June 30, 2026). State and local procurement under this code appears driven primarily by school districts, county education boards, and municipal social service agencies rather than specialty produce distributors.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Connecticut. The State of Georgia itself issued a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026), while Early County Board of Education in Georgia solicited food and non-food products for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools (due June 8, 2026). All school-focused solicitations emphasize Buy American domestic agricultural content requirements (typically 51% minimum for processed products), HACCP plans, federal nutrition compliance including whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and delivery to central warehouses or school sites within narrow time windows. Pricing is firm fixed with no fuel or freight surcharges permitted, and awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with options for single or split awards by line item. This code shows limited specificity to frozen grapes; state and local buyers under it are primarily sourcing broad commodity food baskets for child nutrition and general-population meal programs rather than specialty items.
