UNSPSC 50543413: Frozen non GMO black globe grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO black globe 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 50543413 Frozen non-GMO black globe grapes (Commodity) does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The most recent opportunities solicited under this code overwhelmingly feature broad grocery, fresh produce, and food-service procurement for school districts and municipal food programs, not frozen non-GMO black globe grapes as a discrete line item. Among the nine records in the recent-opportunities block, only the Bridgeport RFP explicitly names frozen products within a 1,100+ line-item scope spanning breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen goods, condiments, seasonings, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, and meats for the Board of Education. The Decatur and Rockwood districts similarly procure frozen foods and groceries as broad categories. Fresh produce bids dominate the sample — Hancock County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, and the Douglas County cooperative RFP each solicit multiple fresh-produce line items (apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty items) but do not isolate frozen grapes. The sole mention of grapes or berry-like items appears in the Douglas County RFP's 72-item produce list, and no recent opportunity specifies frozen non-GMO black globe grapes as a distinct procurement line.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and one state procurement (Georgia food, supplies, and kitchen products). Activity is concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County cooperative) and Connecticut (Bridgeport), with one Missouri district (Rockwood). Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 IFB for 1,100+ grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program, Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with delivery to three school sites, and the Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP (SN 26-004) due March 4, 2026 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code shows little relevant activity as a standalone commodity and appears to be a tagging mismatch rather than a meaningful procurement category in current state and local markets.
